Hi,
I'm using FMB920 trackers with Traccar with a security use-case in mind. So they are installed in cars that spend most of their time garaged and are used occasionally.
What I'd like is for the tracker to still report a position perhaps twice a day when in STOP mode as a heartbeat so we know it is still operating. Then in MOVING mode it reports every 15 minutes. I have configured them to do this.
My question is to do with Sleep modes. I had assumed that if I put them into Ultra Deep Sleep mode that they would still wake up and send a report for the On Stop Send Period. But it seems I misunderstood the documentation and actually once they go to sleep, they will not wake up until the car moves.
I am keen to use as little battery power as possible so as to not run down the car battery if left for a few weeks or potentially even months without being used.
What is the best (by best I mean the one that will use the least power) sleep mode that will still send a report periodically? It doesn't need to acquire a new GPS signal, just send the report of the last recorded position and acquire a new GPS signal once the car starts moving. Will Deep Sleep Mode (as oppose to Ultra Deep Sleep Mode) do this?
