Engine data for 3rd party integration, is this possible to log engine data using MyAdmin API?

Hi,

 

We have used third party devices integration into MyGeotab for some customers, mainly focused on asset tracking. However, is this possible to log engine data using MyAdmin API?

 

On this reference: https://myadmin.geotab.com/sdk#/thirdparty

 

I find this:

 

The following diagnostics are currently available. If not otherwise noted, the value is an integer without a unit of measurement.

  1. Low battery
  2. Tow detection
  3. Starter tamper
  4. Power tamper
  5. Battery voltage (unit: V, conversion: 0.001, example: 12.001 V must be inserted as the integer value 12001)
  6. Temperature (unit: C, conversion: 0.01, example: 1.01 C must be inserted as the integer value 101)
  7. GSM signal strength
  8. Loaded voltage (unit: V, conversion: 0.001, example: 12.001 V must be inserted as the integer value 12001)
  9. Battery level (unit: %)
  10. Successful uploads
  11. Failed uploads
  12. GPS fix attempts
  13. GPS on time (unit: s)
  14. Trip count

 

Besides the listed disgnostics, is this possible to integrate readings such as Odometer and Fuel Used?

If you filter for Diagnostics for Telematics Device, then those are ones you can send through IOX-CAN or IOX-RS232 through a GO Device (typically). If you filter for ones from Third Party Devices, those are ones you push through the MyAdmin API using the ThirdPartyDevice and AddData function. Once in MyGeotab it is the exact sample principle, both are StatusData in the same way.

Yes you can, but it's an entire different set of Diagnostics that are available to ThirdPartyDevices when compared to GoDevices. See in MyGeotab under Engine and Device => Diagnostics and search for Third Party Device as the source. You will see details of all available Diagnostics. You will see their ID, length, unit and offset that you should account for when pushing it.

Thanks. I was thinking that those diagnostics were more related to hardware integrations. We actually have used those for getting status data with IOX RS232.

 

So, what you are saying is that we should be able to use those diagnostics to keep some third party data as status data? (All of this using the API without any physical connection to a GO)
