I just realized I can use my Node-Red server running on my Rpi to do the ping and signal my ISY to my presence. I guess there are several ways to do this. I guess when the network connection is made, you could flash your house lights to signal you it is OK to open the garage door. (- I have my second access point up front and it covers my driveway fairly well. Put another access point up front where you come in. I need to detect if a phone is inside a geofence early enough to run my arriving home program. One of my use cases requires early triggering, if I open the garage door before the network connection is detected, alerts will go off, lights will start flashing and Alexa will be screaming "intruder alert". Thanks, idea and I know people use Tasker to detect network connections. I typically have network linkage to my home router as I pull in the driveway.Īny way to use ISY network resources a node server to do a ping and read the idea and I know people use Tasker to detect network connections. This could be limited to every 15 seconds or so depending on the "accuracy" needed to set off a program on the ISY. our home for most of us) is there a way to use the ISY or a node server to ping the a phone's IP address and send a signal when it changes from responding to not responding and vice versa. If one needed a simple geo-fence for smartphones just for coming and going near your wifi network and your ISY (i.e. This is what I did with Simplex Locate and it was excellent. At some point I plan on moving the nodeserver to polyglot cloud at that point Traccar can send live event feeds to the nodeserver causing programs to then run in realtime.
If you want decent fast and reliable you use the same setup but polling the GPS server (what my nodeserver currently does). If you want fast and reliable you need GPS trackers connected to a real GPS system with geofence capabilities and push notifications.
Rpi traccar plus#
What I've found from a year plus of exploring this subject extensively is that using phones for GPS location and home automation are slow and not appealing when you want things to be reliable and fast. This is early beta and I've been running/using it and it works well for me. I wrote a nodeserver that uses polling to pull data from the Traccar server and create the geofence devices to create rules from. The client is not updating as quickly otherwise it would kill the phone battery. We also have android/iphone with the Traccar client.
Rpi traccar update#
I have GPS trackers in my vehicles that update every 5 seconds to give me very accurate location information. This runs all the time and costs very little each month. This is the connection point for GPS trackers to send data to. This is what I use for myself now.Īmazon EC2 Instance running Traccar server.
Rpi traccar free#
Too bad users want free and so I shutdown. It was not cost effective on my part but it was cheap for users. I started, ran, shutdown a system specific to this use case Simplex Locate. Well there are as many "hacks" and opinions to this subject as there are solutions.
Rpi traccar android#
Please chime in with best practices for geofencing multiple Android phones. Also, I want to be able to trigger my "Arriving Home" program, so I need a true geofence, network connection status would be too late (close) to be effective. Locative is no longer available for Android, so it's no longer a possibility.
While I would be comfortable managing Tasker on my phone, I need to geofence four Android phones to include wife and kids so Tasker doesn't meet the requirements of a lightweight client easy to manage client for family phones. Kohanim said they have something in the pipeline, but in the mean time I thought I would tap the collective knowledge and see what the best practices are. UDI Mobile looked like a great solution, light weight client and portal integration, but it just doesn't work, see link below. One gaping hole in my functionality is the lack of a reliable geofence for multiple Android phones. Not really a noob, been having great fun and success with ISY for a couple of years.
