Using a downlink All
This capability forces the device in a specific tracking mode tagged as SOS, for instance when the tracker’s carrier
needs help.
Once this feature is activated, the behavior is the following:
➢ The tracker sends a start SOS mode event payload
➢ The tracker sends continuously its position at a fixed period of 120 seconds.
➢ The tracker uses the geolocation strategy: geoloc_sensor, with a GPS timeout fixed to 120 seconds.
➢ The LoRaWAN™ position messages are tagged with an alert flag.
➢ The tracker’s blue LED is blinking
The tracker can enter this mode by either making three short presses on the button or receiving a SOS start
LoRaWAN™ downlink.
This mode is disabled by either another three short presses, a SOS stop LoRaWAN™ downlink or an operating mode
change request
When it is deactivated, a stop SOS mode event payload is sent, the tracker stops blinking and plays a melody.
4.5 Motion detection
This feature is supported by all Abeeway trackers
4.5.1 Overview
The tracker embeds a three axis accelerometer, which detects accelerations and triggers a motion event. It is
configurable with two parameters:
➢ motion_sensitivity: Allows a fine tuning of the acceleration intensity to trigger a motion event.
➢ motion_duration: Defines the delay needed without any motion detection to generate a motion end event.
The accelerometer is always active except in OFF mode
