Time Override Only for Specific Protocol / Device (Huboo)

Haider 12 days ago

Hello,

I have a problem with someone of my devices (protocol: huboo) reporting the wrong date and month. Example:

Device Time: 01/02/2006

Fix Time: 01/02/2006

Server Time: 08/18/2025

screenshot

The data (ignition, distance, location etc.) is correct, but the timestamps are wrong.

I know Traccar has the time.override option, but when I enable it globally the device stops updating locations. Also, I don’t want this override for all devices, only for:

Specific protocol (huboo)

Or specific device(s)

My questions:

Is it possible to apply time.override only for a specific protocol (like huboo)?

If not, is there a way to apply it only for one device (via attributes, config, or database)?

Basically, I want to save data with Server Time only for certain devices where the Device/Fix Time is always wrong, without affecting others.

Any suggestions or solution?

Thanks!

Sorry, by mistake I wrote protocol name wrong. The correct protocol name is: Huabao.

You can use time.protocols to specify which protocol(s) to apply time override to.

Couldn't the protocol be adjusted to handle GPS Week Number Rollover?

It could be.

ok! As a partial fix, I did this for this protocol.

<!-- Uses the server time instead of the device's fixTime. -->
<entry key='time.override'>serverTime</entry>

<!-- Apply only to the EasyTrack protocol (so as not to affect other devices). -->
<entry key='time.protocols'>easytrack</entry>

Same problem with a gt06 protocol devices. This is definitely a traccar update that has created problems.

This is definitely NOT Traccar update that created this problem.

Hi Anton, how can we contribute to this fix? I see several issues being closed dealing with this topic. What do you suggest and what files do you recommend so that nothing is too simple or exaggerated?

It's already fixed.
