It’s up to you to come up with the idea for a personal monitoring solution, it’s up to flespi to support you technically. Getting access to the data from your Traccar client apps anywhere anytime for integration in any GPS tracking or related projects is that easy. Is it possible or has anyone managed to install the Tracar server on a raspberry pi I want to mve the server off my micro PC to something that uses less power. ![]() One more nice thing about having a device is that you can immediately see it on the map right in flespi. Let’s refer to the Toolbox tab once again, this time for the newly created device, to see if messages have started coming as expected: Let’s create a flespi device here - what you need is a Device identifier taken from the Traccar client app and a proper device type: Or you can go one step further and have messages grouped by device, get access to telemetry, and benefit from the long-term message storage (up to 10 years). You can actually stop here and consume the parsed incoming messages via the API ( REST, MQTT) on the channel level (this way the messages from all connected Traccar clients will pile up in this channel). And you can check this on the Toolbox tab of your flespi channel: That’s basically it - once you switch the Service status to “running”, you should start receiving messages in your flespi channel. Note: If you left connection via HTTPS on the previous step, you want to have “ here as well. Run the app, go to Server URL setting, and type in the DNS of your traccar-client channel. We assume you already have the Traccar client installed on your smartphone. Once you have a channel, you should configure the Traccar client app to sent data to its DNS: for debugging purposes), you can switch the Enable HTTPS option to the disabled state. Note that by default the communication is established via HTTPS. Unsurprisingly for Traccar client, it’s a traccar-client channel: So, as per the flespi concept, we need a proper channel to accept the connection first. Let us show you what it takes to get the data from your Traccar mobile client and see the dot on the map in a matter of a few minutes. The flespi platform is now ready to accept connections from the Traccar client apps and parse the messages for further use in any projects you may envision. Traccar client is a simplistic, easy-to-configure tool ready to run in seconds after installation. EDIT: I found one that provides SMS: 5 for 250 messages. So youd want to use a tracker that uses regular data for sending the location, as well as command & control. With 100+K installations on Google Play, it is definitely one of the big players in the personal monitoring market that may be used in a variety of projects. OPs project seems to rely on SMS for polling location data from the device. Traccar client ( Android, iOS) is a popular software tracker by Traccar - a developer of a free and open-source GPS tracking platform.
