Remapping of device position if within geofence
I meant:
...
However, due to the signal noise I get position updates which are pretty much "non-relevant", since they are predominately stationary and within a predefined geofence, see image below:
...
That's what filtering is for.
Hi, thank you for your quick reply!
But that works only for all devices, or? In case I have some devices with precise tracking positions, that would be "overwritten" as well?
Not sure I understand your questions.
Sorry for not being precise enough.
I have some devices which are not very precise. But they are located within a geofence area. And I know, as long as they are in this geofence area I am fine with it. Then I have some devices which are quite precise (using bluetooth, gps, ...) with low noise and I want their exact position. However, sometime devices of both categories are within the same geofence location. For the first type of devices a position mapping to the geofence location (your "filtering") would be great, since - lets say 95% - of the position updates are just noise. For the latter category the "false position updates" are very little. For those devices I do not want any filtering but the exact position.
Could this clear your questions?
Filtering can be applied to specific devices.
Ah, I think you pointed me to the right direction. I guess you mean a combination of: filter.skipAttributes and filter.skipAttributes.enable?
I somehow missed this in the docs. Thank you!
That's not what I mean. I mean literally filtering configuration can be applied per device.
Ah, you mean device based distance attribute. I think I need to reread the complete docs. Sorry, for not being better prepared. Thank you!
Hello,
please excuse my potential lack of knowledge. I really like the traccar and integrated some ESP32 devices. Some of these devices are predominantly within a geofence location. However, due to the signal noise I get position updates which are pretty much "non-relevant", since the are within a predefined geofence, see image below:
Now my question:
Is it possible to update the position of a device prior its database write operation to the position of the geofence? Best case would be to enable / disable it per device "flag". Reason: in my opinion it would:
a.) clear the appearance of the device position by avoiding these "non-sense" positions.
b.) Reduce DB storage size since noise positions would not be stored, but set to "known" position.
Thank you for your input and help!
