Notification on hard stop/brake

Nikiu 8 years ago

Is there any notification about the hard brake of the car? For example, the car is going with 90 kmph and it crashes, suddenly stops. I need a notification on that occasion. Is it possible? I can't seem to find it.

Yes, Traccar can handle it if your device supports this kind of event.

As I mentioned in another post, I use Teltonika FM1202 and it supports such an event. We already get such notifications on some of our cars that we have on TAVL4.

But what do I need to configure on Traccar so it relies this event via email to the user?

For Teltonika it's not supported in decoder directly, but you should be able to use computed attributes to enable this event.

Is it this one?

public static final String ALARM_BREAKING = "hardBreaking";

Got it from Position.java

Yes, it is.

I can't seem to make it work. Can you create a computed attribute here so I work on it? Thanks in advance.

If you provide example of what you tried I might be able to help you.

Description: Hard Break

Attribute: Alarm

Expression: hardBreaking

Type: string

I know, I'm stupid.

Hmm... obviously you need to map whatever event code or parameter Teltonika sends to the alarm key. Without knowing what it sends I won't be able to help you.

I get this error message when I try to test the computed attribute.

org.traccar.processing.ComputedAttributesHandler.computeAttribute@84![0,11]: 'hardBraking;' undefined variable hardBraking - Variable (... < ComputedAttributesHandler:84 < AttributeResource:51 < ...)

Tried to find what Teltonika sends but google wasn't of much help.

Same thing with other alarms which are in lowercase letters, like shock and accident.

Anton Tananaev 8 years ago

Alarm key is a string, so it should be in double-quotes.

Now, when I put the expression in double quotes and when I check the computed attribute, it gives back a window with the name of the attribute. Check the screenshot for more info.

Is this OK now? As I'm not getting any email.

Looks fine. Do you have an SMTP server configured? Have you enabled alarms in the settings?
