Event message

Byte 0-4Byte 5Byte 6-12
Header with Type=0x0AEvent ValueAdditional data

It notifies generic events.

Event Value

  • 0x00: geolocation start message: If activated (bit 6 of config_flags set), the event message is sent when the tracker begins a geolocation.
  • 0x01: motion_start message: If activated (bit 8 of config_flags set), the event message is sent when the tracker begins a motion.
  • 0x02: motion_end message: If activated (bit 9 of config_flags set), the event message is sent when the end. of a motion is detected.
  • 0x03: BLE connected: Sent when a tracker is bonded and BLE connected to a mobile or a tablet
  • 0x04: BLE disconnected: Sent when a tracker is bonded and BLE disconnected to a mobile or a tablet
  • 0x05: Temperature information message: if the temperature monitoring is activated (the parameter temperature_high or temperature_low is set), this event message is sent when there is a state change in the temperature (normal to alert or alert to normal) or it can be sent instead of a geolocation message if the geolocation is cancelled due to temperature_action parameter. (Refer to the section Temperature monitoring for more details)
  • 0x06: BLE bond deleted: Sent when the bond is deleted on the tracker (it is sent even if the tracker was not bonded before the command to remove BLE bond was sent to the tracker)
  • 0x07: SOS start message: The tracker enters in SOS
  • 0x08: SOS stop message: The tracker leaves the SOS
  • 0x09: Angle detection event
  • 0x0A: BLE geozoning event

Additional data

Motion_end message:

Provide the gravity vector, which can be used for the device
orientation. Vector components can be negative.

Refer to the section Two's complement Encoding for the encoding.

Additional data with Event value=0x02

Byte 6-7Byte 8-9Byte 10-11Byte 13
X axisY axisZ axisMDP

X axis: X axis accelerometer value in mG
Y axis: Y axis accelerometer value in mG
Z axis: Z axis accelerometer value in mG
MDP: Motion Duration Percentage (Motion Duty Cycle). It stores the %duration of tracker movement since the last reset of the tracker or by resetting it with Clear motion percentage downlink. Its value ranges from 0 to 100%

Temperature alert message:

Provides data about the measured temperature.

Additional data with Event value=0x05

Byte 6Byte 7Byte 8Byte 9-10Byte 11-12
State ≠ 3Max temperatureMin TemperatureHigh counterLow counter
State = 3reservedreservedreservedreserved

State:

  • 0: Normal temperature
  • 1: High temperature
  • 2: Low temperature
  • 3: Feature not activated

Max Temperature: Maximum temperature measured by the device.

Min Temperature: Minimum temperature measured by the device.

High counter: From the time a high temperature event is sent, this counter is incremented every 10 minutes (can be used to calculate the over temperature time).

Low counter: From the time a low temperature event is sent, this counter is incremented every 10 minutes (can be used to calculate the under temperature time).

Notes

If the feature is not activated, values in the additional data part are not valid.

The counters never reset.

Age: Age of the measure, expressed in seconds. The value is in big
endian (MSB first).

Ref Vector X: X axis accelerometer value in mG, used for the reference vector

Ref Vector Y: Y axis accelerometer value in mG, used for the reference vector

Ref Vector Z: Z axis accelerometer value in mG, used for the reference vector

Critical Vector X: X axis accelerometer value in mG, it is the last measurement value

Critical Vector Y: Y axis accelerometer value in mG, it is the last measurement value

Critical Vector Z: Z axis accelerometer value in mG, it is the last measurement value

Angle: Angle in degree between the reference vector and the last
measurement

Notes
  1. Signed 16 bit value on each axis, refer to the section Two's complement Encoding for information for the encoding
  2. G is the terrestrial gravity, mG means milli G.

BLE Connection messages:

These messages are sent when the tracker is interacting over Bluetooth with the Abeeway tracking app installed on the smart phone.
