Remote Control
This page describes LEO 2 features available for LINKA Fleets. For personal use, visit our website for information regrading cellular functionality
Whenever the device is connected to the cellular network, various commands can be sent to the device through cellular.
When the Power Mode is set to MID, cellular functionality will be active during the following situations:
Whenever the device is in motion, regardless of whether device is locked or unlocked
Device has just been unlocked or locked, triggering a State Change Ping
Once daily during the Period Ping
By setting the Power Mode to HIGH, the device can maintain an active cellular connection based on the time of day. For example, a device in HIGH can maintain a cellular connection between 7am and 7pm daily, allowing for Remote Control within this time period.
Scheduling Commands
If the device does not have an active cellular connection, a Remote Command can be scheduled to take place the next time the device connects to the cellular network.
In the example below, the device does not have an active cellular connection. This is indicated by the “Not Connected” cell status. An “Unlock” command is listed under the “Scheduled Commands” queue. The next time the device establishes a cellular connection, the Unlock command will be automatically sent to the device.
Web API Control
Remote Commands can also be sent through the Web API. Consult the Web API documentation for more details.
