Hi All,
One of our clients is keen on reporting on when there asset battery is running low.
We really want something that will replicate the low battery set up on the asset list inside Geotab. But instead of relying on us to manually check the list every few hours, every time something pops up on that list we want an email.
Eg, if a vehicle is parked on the side of the road at a job site with the flashing lights going, the battery is going to drain over that period. We want to be notified that that is happening so we can contact the person operating the vehicle and ask them to start it up before it actually goes flat, therefore preventing the need to jump start and the inconvenience of having a vehicle that won't start.
The cranking voltage is only referencing the voltage when the engine starts, meaning we don't get the proactive notification before a vehicle is flat, just an alert that the engine is turning over and it's already too late.
Any ideas on the best way to report this?
Kind Regards,
Owen
The only issue I can see with the ignition being off is that it might only report the voltage when the device does it's next heartbeat, but if you're talking about stuff like lights draining the battery, the device should still be heartbeating every 30 minutes anyway.
