ONE+ PARKED vs DISCONNECTED

Post by vasilis »

Hi there,

Just got my ONE+ and it seems great!

I want to make sure that I will be able to differentiate between a parked car and a car that is disconnected from the device.

It seems that the device powers down and doesn't send and messages to the server while PARKED. How can I know that the car is indeed parked and that the device has not been removed. Is there a way to send an ALIVE ping every x minutes to the server to know that the device is still connected and operational?

Thanks!

It is possible to send keepalive signal when parked as OBD port has power when ignition is off. You need to modify the code a bit to archieve this and be aware communication during parked time will sooner or later exhaust the car battery.
