QR code configuration guide -> How to add mode option to QR

Helka3 months ago

If any one else wondering how to set more than just server adress...

in QR code configuration field you can specified some of application settings like:

id=12345 ( or any String )
accuracy=highest ( highest | high | medium | low )
distance=10 (or any Int value in meters)
interval=300 (or any Int value in seconds)
angle=0 (or any Int value in seconds)
heartbeat=3000 (or any Int value in seconds)
fastest_interval=3000 (or any Int value in seconds)
buffer=true (true or false)
wakelock=true (true or false)
stop_detection=true (true or false)

if you choose more than one you need to concatenate it with & .
So it gona be some like:

accuracy=highest&distance=1&interval=30&heartbeat=3000&wakelock=true&stop_detection=true

Thanks for sharing. It's not super user friendly for now, but at least there's an option.

Where can I find the QR code configuration field?

Anton Tananaev3 months ago

Right under the QR code.

Ok. Where in the client app or server is the QR code? I haven't seen a QR code anywhere.

Create or edit a device and there will be a button under "extra" section.

I really really hope that you will consider adding deeplinking to be able to configure traccar via a clickable link soon. I know we talked about this before but is it something you plan to implement soon? Is it on your roadmap? Or we shouldn't hold our breath for it (at least for now)?

It's on the roadmap.

Another option to make the config easy, perhaps not an easier lift on the back end then a link would be to allow either of:

  • allow photo selection in addition to camera to load QR code
  • allow sharing of the photo to Traccar app (this would probably be good to have a confirmation dialogue with the settings visible so it's not inadvertently changed.

Currently I have a screenshot of a QR code which has everything set except device ID which is easy for a non-tech person to update to their phone number or other ID (eg. employee ID). Trouble is I can't just send them a text with the info as it comes into the same phone they would be configuring for Traccar.

Stoked on the config though, and thanks to @Helka for explaining how to make it work!.
