Tow alarm (conditional alarm)

FdoHdez7 years ago

Hello. Does Traccar include the following functionality:

If ignition is off and there is a change in the last position reported (which would mean an attempt to tow away the vehicle) and alarm would be fired?

This is such kind of conditional alarm (if there is moving while ignition is off), an "Anti Tow Alarm" implemented as a software functionality rather than based on tilt sensors inside AVL unit.

If this is not a current functionality, are you thinking in including it for future versions?

Best regards

Hello,
It is not currently implemented and do not think will be in near future.
But it can be easily achieved with help of Computed Attributes https://www.traccar.org/documentation-computed-attributes/

Like this:
Alarm
!ignition && speed > 1 ? "tow" : null
String

@abyss will this also work? please advice

!ignition && motion && speed > 1 ? “tow” : null

what am trying to do is an additional check on if motion is 'true'. this way even a false gps speed (Random jumps) wont trigger tow alert.
