New commands Coban

[deleted]

Hi, I’m Carlos from Argentina. I am migrating equipment from the GpsWox platform to your platform. I can’t create new commands for Coban machines (303h / i). For example the command “Single position” what would it be? Is the parameter numeric (100)? What would the syntax be?

In the command configuration, what is the syntax? The command I need to create is ^ Single position ^. The command is: **, imei: xxxx, 100.- (where 100 is the coban code to update position)
In toolbox, the commands sent from the Ruhavik platform are with letters, could you clarify for me, or at least explain to me how the syntax for the Single position command would be,?

Hello, [deleted] ,

The correct syntax of commands must be obtained from the manufacturer directly. Unfortunately, we do not know what command syntax each manufacturer has and added this functionality so that people can freely use any commands.

If you find out how to write this command correctly from the manufacturer or seller, please share this information here on the forum - it will be very useful to us!

Hello again! Thank you very much for the reply. I still can’t create new commands for the COBAN protocol.
According to the documents sent by Coban, the syntax for the commands from the server to the device is the following: **, imei, command code. I have available to share all the numerical codes of the Coban commands
For example, to consult an updated position, the command would be **, imei, 100 (entered like this in Ruhavik it does not work)
The problem is that according to the Ruhavik and Flespi forum, the syntax for custom commands would be: {“payload”: “111″} where 111 is the code for ARM for example.
However, viewing the reports from the Toolbox, the ARM, DISARM, CUT ON and CUT OFF commands, which are predefined in Ruhavik, come out like this, for example:

for ARM

{
payload: “L”
}

and for DISARM

{
payload: “M”
}

Ruhavik apparently uses letters instead of numbers for command codes.
Could you help me with this?

Hello, [deleted] ,

The fact is that for Coban devices, many commands are initially integrated in the Setbox, so the payload of commands may look different.

Please write us to support@gps-trace.com, we will check it together on your units.
In your email please specify the link to this forum topic.

Hello again, [deleted] ,

I spoke with the developers and clarified a few points.
If your device can work with numeric command codes, then you just need to enter the command code (for example, just 111 or 100) in the command body.

In ruhavik “**, imei: 112233445566778,” - this part is substituted automatically. Try to enter simple numeric command codes and test.

As for the letters in the command, it all depends on the tracker model.
Older models work with numbers, newer ones with letters.

Hello, thank you very much for your answer. Excellent technical support!
The question, from what I was investigating in SetBox, is that in some way, the device responds to Ruhavik’s commands by means of letters. But not with the numerical parameters. Something strange since in the Coban documentation, it does not specify ^ Letters ^, but numeric codes that start at code 100 (update position), which is one of the commands I need to create. It is very rare since in GpsWox it works with the numeric command.
For example, ARM works with the parameter ^ L ^ but does not work with the parameter ^ 111 ^
Would they have to pass me, what letter corresponds to the command 100?
Apparently the letter assignments correlate with the numeric commands:

100 Single positions Letter ^ A ^? (it does not work)
109 Cut off the Oil and Power Letter ^ J ^
110 Resume the Oil and Power Letter ^ K ^
111 Set Arm Letter ^ L ^
112 Set Disarm Letter ^ M ^

Hello, [deleted] ,

Yes, you can check with the manufacturer for the correspondence of numeric commands to alphabetic ones. Unfortunately, we do not know all the commands, most of the new Coban devices work with both numeric and alphabetic commands.

If you find these matches, post them in this forum thread, most likely it will help other users.
