I have a tracker which is not connected to any sensor such as ignition or something.

Can I use an SMS-command to put the tracker to sleep to save battery and another command to make it wake up again so it starts submitting it's location to the webserver?

Hello,

Thank you for your question,

There is no specific command to make the device to go sleep mode. Every sleep mode description is included in the manual:

https://community.teltonika-gps.com/?qa=blob&qa_blobid=438829684904406937

For example:

FMB2YX is able to go to GPS sleep mode after configurable Sleep timeout. This timeout (defined period) starts counting when device is in STOP mode. After timeout is reached and all conditions for GPS sleep mode are met, device goes to GPS sleep mode.

FMB2YX can enter GPS sleep mode if ALL of these conditions are met:

  • FMB2YX has to be configured to work in GPS Sleep mode and sleep timeout is reached;
  • Device time must be synchronized with GPS satellites;
  • No movement by configured movement source or movement sensor is detected;
  • Ignition (configured Ignition Source) is off

In case you want to disable or enable certain sleep mode use SMS command "setparam 102 value(0-3 for specific sleep mode)", but note that this will not enable sleep instantly, sleep mode will only activated when certain conditions are met, you will not be able to turn off sleep mode with SMS commands.

Regards.
