what do you mean by this?

Sorry, that should be uplink of messages. It can be done by using TTN, but TTN lists a Cayenne encoder. This was the reason for my question.

I created a configuration sequence by using the link I posted. The following packages should enable tracking every 4 minutes and, if not moving twice a day. I sent them via TTN uplink, but the stack in a queue and nothing happened until now. Hard job, to get that thing working….

Set Operating Mode command:

020601

MOTION_TRACKING

Set Parameters command #1:

CONFIRMED_UL_RETRY = 3

TRANSMIT_STRAT = 2

I finally got the Abeeway micro tracker working:
The biggest problem was: There is NO positioning by WiFi tracking. WiFi tracking is no tracking at all ( meaning that it doesn’t send positions) and it has priority to GPS tracking with default configuration. In WiFi mode the tracker scans the networks and sends SSIDs and signal strengths. To use it for tracking, the WiFi network positions must be known and a software must run on the server to calculate positions from signal strength data, which is not the case for TTN, Cayenne or anything else. So you get nothing useful with WiFi tracking ! The same is true with Bluetooth tracking.

I finish my posting with a configuration file, that gives a low power GPS signal indoors and outdoors every 3 min and a GPS signal every two hours. The device can be configured by sending the parameter comands via the TTN console to the device.
To create other configuration files, use the nano-things link I posted above.

Good luck to you all !

One more thing to Shramik.
the tracker has a temperature sensor and uploads this data too. Can you please make a temperature widget for it in Cayenne ?
The following Payload contains a temperature measurement of 22.2706 °C:
0784f9835002050000000606000000010e000000030f00000001

This one includes 38.4588 °C

Thank you.

will fix it.
