Traccar Client 9.5.0
Yes, a configuration is required. It's actually more complicated because if you want it to work on your own server, you have to compile your own version of Traccar Client as well. That's because you need a firebase key. See command.client.serviceAccount configuration parameter. You also need to set command.sender for your device.
Hi,
Is there a plan to make this function available over a central service?
As it already exists for the Notifications with the Manager app?
Best regards

Yes, there's definitely a plan, but it is a bit more complicated because we have to implement support forwarding notifications on our website as well. I expect it to be ready by next major release.
Hey Anton, no idea why this would be happening, but it's happened a least twice in the past couple days since 9.5.0. I'm getting a couple pings randomly from a few miles away. Same settings as the screenshot above in the thread (highest accuracy, etc). I don't believe it happened previously with the prior version.
Any ideas?
You should check the accuracy of those positions. It could be network-based locations with low accuracy.
Network location was my assumption too, just hadn't noticed it in the past.
What's the best way to check? From the server I clicked the position and hit more details. For both the bad positions as well as a good position it says "0" under accuracy.
Still on server 5.12 since that's what the HA add-on is stuck at and haven't spun up a new server yet. I doubt that's the position issue, but maybe the accuracy reporting? Would my angle be reported correctly too if I get current on server? Currently it just says up arrow, and no speed.
Missing accuracy is explained by the fact that you're using an old version of the server. Direction up and no speed almost definitely mean no GPS. I recommend upgrading server to get more data.
10-4, it'll be good to get it done, just been putting it off. Thanks.
I have noticed since the 9.5.0 update that on the highest accuracy once traccar goes into movement state it never reverts back to stationary state anymore even after being totally still and stationary for more than 30 minutes which leads to the gps ending up always in use draining the battery. V9.4.3 used to switch the gps on when motion is detected and switches off the gps after being stationary for about 10 minutes. I thought initially that this is a one time off thing so I held back posting this for a couple of days to further test the 9.5.0 behavior, however I am confident since this happens 100% of the time now after the update that it must be a bug
Note that stop detection is on
One more bug that I have noticed, on the highest accuracy if I disabled stationary heartbeat and set the interval to 1000 seconds for example, it will never update the location once every 1000 seconds when stationary however If I set the stationary heartbeat to 1000 it ends up sending a heartbeat once every 1000 seconds despite as per a previous reply on the forums you mentioned that the heartbeat shouldn't take effect on the highest accuracy.
Android or iOS?
Android
Sorry forgot to mention the platform in the original post
I don't think there were any changes to Android stationary logic.
By the way, where did I say that heartbeat shouldn't take effect on the highest accuracy? That might be the case for iOS, but not for Android.
Hmmm that is strange . It doesn't hurt, let me uninstall the app and start fresh and see.
I might have forgot where it was said, maybe it wasn't you anyways.
I will uninstall the app and reinstall it and see what happens and will keep you posted . Thanks
Actually there's one change that might be relevant. Now if you launch the app or change settings, we set the motion to active by default. But it shouldn't affect stop detection.
Hi,
I updatet my server to 6.8.1 and my android clients use version 9.5.0.
Now I want to try the push commands as featured in the 6.8 Blog post. But when I create a saved command for a Single Reporting I can't use the command for my devices.
Command is added as connection to the device. Is there some additional configuration required?
Best regards
Lars
