additional protocols support - flespi supports some protocols not supported by Traccar, so users can have a wider equipment choice when building the infrastructure.

But when it declares a protocol as supported, it can parse all parameters as per the manufacturer specification.

better protocols support - flespi does not yet support 100+ protocols as most top fleet management platforms do.

Remember, this model of ATrack tracker (AK1) is not supported by Traccar? After streaming its data through flespi, the device is available in Traccar and all its parameters show in the left-side table: Moreover, some trackers by certain manufacturers allow configuring the device via text messages - flespi does support configuration via SMS for applicable devices. Clicking the Send button will initiate the setting change that will apply as soon as the device goes online. Let’s look into the Tracking tab - you can change all parameters of the GPS Tracking setting with mouse clicks - no need to know the command syntax for each manufacturer. The flespi configurator splits the settings into tabs by their purpose - our ATrack device has Connectivity and Tracking tabs. Clicking the small wrench icon will open the configurator for the given device: The device appears in the list of all flespi devices in the flespi platform. This model is not supported by Traccar, so we added it to flespi first - device ident and/or phone number are required to uniquely identify the tracker: We picked an ATrack AK1 device for the demonstration. To enable notifications, click on the gear icon in the top right corner of the screen, click “+” icon to add a new notification, pick the type of event that will trigger notifications, and tick the Send via Web checkbox to see the notifications in the Traccar web interface:Īll devices connected to Traccar via flespi can be configured inside the flespi panel.

This functionality will work with the devices connected via flespi as well. Traccar allows setting up notifications about certain types of events.By clicking on the unit line in the list you can see all the parameters of the last message received by the unit: The unit will go online and start showing its current location on the map (if it is online and moving).Specify the ident (IMEI) of the corresponding physical tracker connected to flespi: Open Traccar, click “+” to add a new unit.To forward message into Traccar, create a stream over HTTP protocol and specify the URI of your Traccar server and port 5149 corresponding to the flespi protocol: Pick the protocol that your tracking devices use. Then create a channel that will accumulate the messages from the trackers.To start streaming data to Traccar via flespi, log in with the flespi panel first.

Traccar will interpret all supported parameters into its internal naming convention the rest will retain the unified names given by flespi. When you watch the message details, you will see all message parameters according to the protocol specification. When you send messages to the port assigned to the “flespi” protocol, it can receive the data from any trackers supported in the flespi platform without the need to know the manufacturer and the protocol used. We in flespi tried to make the Traccar platform even more flexible and easy to use by introducing a “flespi” protocol into the Traccar’s impressive list.įlespi is famous for its universal protocol description technology that unifies parameter names across tracking devices and manufacturers.

The cool thing about Traccar is that you can fork it on Github and tweak to your needs.

Traccar is an open-source GPS tracking platform supporting over 140 communication protocols and providing basic fleet management functionality in a clear interface.
