Traccar API add device not updating with incoming data

Fergal Powell 7 years ago

I have written a javascript function to register new devices to my Traccar server from my Cordova Phonegap application, shown below. This function successfully adds a new device to the server however the incoming data from the device does not update the device in Traccar. The device comes online and goes offline immediately.

In the logs I can see that an error occurs when data from the device is received and the server does not respond so then the connection with the device times out and disconnects. I have posted the log below the javascript function.

The devices I am using are EV-07 and Traccar client. When I add devices from the Traccar Web App interface everything works correctly, but when I remove the device and try add it from my app it does not update.

function RegisterDevice(){
    let name = document.getElementById('add-device-name').value.toString();
    let model = document.getElementById('add-device-model').value.toString();
    let imei = document.getElementById('add-device-imei').value.toString();

    let deviceData = {
        id: null,
        name: name,
        uniqueId: imei,
        status: null,
        disabled: null,
        lastUpdate: null,
        positionId: null,
        groupId: null,
        phone: null,
        model: model,
        contact: null,
        category: null,
        geofenceIds: null,
        attributes: null
    };

    $.ajax({
        type: 'post',
        url: 'http://' + serverIP + '/api/devices',
        data: JSON.stringify(deviceData),
        contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
        dataType: 'json',
        xhrFields: {
                    withCredentials: true
                },
        headers: {
            "Accept": "application/json"
        },
        success: function () {
            console.log('added');
            LoadHome();
            AlertBanner('success', 'device');
        },
        error: function(exception){
            HideLoading();
            OpenPage('add');
            AlertBanner('fail', 'device');
            console.log(exception);
        }
    });
}

Have you check the post method info in the browser console when using Web application and compare it with yours?

Anton Tananaev 7 years ago

Looks like you are missing attributes. Include empty JSON object.

Fergal Powell 7 years ago

Thank you Ernesto and Anton for your replies. As Anton advised I have replaced the null value for the attributes field with an empty JSON and now the device is updating it's attributes accordingly, Thank you for your help guys!
