The tracker requires a permanent supply of 12V, which will keep the internal battery fully charged. I tidied up the rest of the wires and kept the three I needed - I use +12V, Ground & ACC. I removed the wire attached to the relay (wasn't going to use it and it's an unnecessary attachment for me). Now is a good time to unbox the tracker and get sorted with the rats-nest of wires that come with it. Once everything is done, you'll be given some information that will come in handy later, like the APN and any credentials (there are none!) If you want to avoid the default automation (10MB of data when less than 9.50MB remaining), set up your own automation that will top up when you have something like 3MB remaining - like below Automation Confusion On my set up, I set my own automation which basically disabled auto-topic - this resulted in the SIM blocking itself every time it activated! Don't do this! This is required by TM to ensure your SIM has valid credit available for use. These are the options for Data Packages ( not recommended!) Things Mobile Data Plansĭuring activation, you'll be asked to set up an 'automation'. To get low GPRS data usage, my tracker needed commanded to do so: read on for more. A day with just shy of 5 hours of driving used 0.24MB. In my first four days of testing, I have used 0.25MB of data - though haven't done any longer drives yet to give proper data estimates - I'll put that at the bottom of the post in an update!Įdit: Following 18 days of the tracker being installed, my device has used 1.25MB, so well below my 10MB/month estimate. You will get the choice of a pay-per-use or data package - I chose pay-per-use, hopefully my math works out, but I don't think the SIM will use 10MB/month, so I'll save some credit by using the first option. You'll need those on the Things Mobile Portal to get the card registered. On the back of your SIM, you'll find a number beginning with +88 (MSISDN), and a long number at the bottom of the card (ICCID). These are the steps you'll need to follow to get Traccar up and running:įirst off, let's get our SIM ready to go.
