The DC input socket is located beside the USB port.ĭriver is automatically installed on Windows 7/8. Any DC 12V (minimum 1A) power adapter with 5.5/2.1mm connector can be used. The emulator requires DC 12V power supply. Connect DC 12V power adapter to the emulator To start using the emulator, following these steps:ġ. The emulator can be controlled and configured through BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) by Freematics Emulator App available in App Store. New features are added and new versions are released on monthly basis to extend and maximize the capacity of the emulator hardware. Please extract the downloaded compressed file and run FreematicsEmulator.exe to launch the GUI.
#FREEMATICS TRACCAR EDITION SOFTWARE#
GUI software is provided for adjusting OBD-II PIDs, DTC and VIN through a Windows PC (MAC and Linux version soon). The source of data may come from rotary switches or real sensors attached to them. A micro-controller board or Arduino can be connected with the emulator and act as the host controller.
#FREEMATICS TRACCAR EDITION SERIAL#
NOTE: The 6-pin XH-2.54 socket provides an interface for serial TTL connection as well as DC power supply of 3 different voltages. The emulator has following interfaces on its enclosure: Embedded BLE for wireless control via iOS App.USB and TTL serial controlling interfaces (controlled by PC or micro-controller/Arduino).

#FREEMATICS TRACCAR EDITION CODE#
It emulates up to 6 active vehicle diagnostic trouble code (DTC) as if a real car has when encountering a component malfunction or fault. It provides an 16-pin female OBD-II port which is identical to that of a real car and responds to requests for standard OBD-II PIDs from plugged-in OBD-II compliant device.
#FREEMATICS TRACCAR EDITION HOW TO#
I'm a tech geek (aren't we all), and ironically my undergrad major (MIS) involved some coding, but I shy away from too much of that (guided YAML coding is kind of my maximum at the moment, Bash still confuses the hell out of me).Ĭan anyone help point me either to some guides, or to some OBD GPS trackers which would be relatively-easy to plug a SIM into and get working with Traccar (and then Home Assistant), without the need for some significant level of programming? I've done some searching and either I don't know how to look for this, or clarity seems to not exist at the moment on this topic in the areas I've looked.Freematics_OBD-II_Emulator_MK2_SKU_TEL0099-DFRobotįreematics OBD-II Emulator MK2 is world’s smallest OBD-II emulator with KWP2000, ISO9141 and CAN bus simulation. I even ordered a data-only SIM from my carrier, Google Fi.īut, in double-checking I knew what I was getting into, I noticed that these Freematics devices require some degree of programming.

I see all the supported devices and the prominently-mentioned Freematics ONE+ variants. However, this is where I hit a wall, in terms of solution-finding. Seems like the clear solution, as I run an UnRAID server and presumably can run a Traccar server on there (I see a Docker app in the Community Applications store), so no need for a monthly subscription fee (if I understand correctly). Lo-and-behold, there's a massive market of them on Amazon - but I want something without a subscription service, ideally open-source, that I can integrate in Home Assistant.īoom - Traccar. But this got me thinking about OBD-based GPS trackers. However, my wife has an old Honda Civic and we'd like to track that too (she shot down using a Tile tracker, as she correctly pointed out such a device is mostly useless if the car is taken into the middle of nowhere).īack in the day, I had an Automatic OBD adapter for my old car (also a Honda Civic at the time) - it was great! Of course, Automatic is no more. This is something I love having the ability to do for peace of mind, at a bare minimum. Hey all, so I've been getting into Home Assistant, and I'm lucky enough to own a car which already has a built-in integration, allowing for tracking it via GPS and whatnot.
