here is my setup and config thus far:
Desired Endstate: 2x Freematics ONE+ Traccar Edition with a selfhosted traccar container and Home Assistant Integration
Work done so far:
-
followed this , using @soshial’s fork . Both devices are working and using Twillio SIMs and connected to Rogers here in Canada. I used both methods (VSCode and Freematics Builder) to upload onto the devices successfully.
-
Working and connected Self-hosted Container using Docker Hub
-
Home Assistant integration to #2 with device_tracker entities working. (I am not using the Home Assistant Add-on yet because I can’t figure out how to enable and expose the proper ports (5170 and 5055) yet.
not working:
-
I can’t seem to get any actual car data (fuel, ignition, etc) reporting into Traccar
-
I have the Freematics App on my iPhone yet I can’t seem to see it as a BT device when powered on and connected in my vehicle. Should I even care about this? I thought I was neat.
questions:
- Am I using the right container? should it work with the source code via @soshial ?
- Source code to compile using freematics builder / VSCode - is that the only repo I need to use?
- Am I missing anything else?
- If I tried the Home Assistant Add-on again, how do I tell if I have the ports accessible for 5055 and 5170 within the addon working so I can move my port forwarding to that? I have tried netstat and ha cli to the point of flipping tables.
