Geofence Creation for devices Outside Flespi

AdityaRatnayaka

Hello,
We've decided to create a asset management system using flespi with tracking capabilities.
Ive needed to enable the client to create Geofences using our dashboard which is been written in html css and js.
How can I create geofences in google maps, Any guidance will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hello. You can try to use mapview
in version 0.7.3 added functionality for creating and editing polygons (geofences)

Hello dexif

Can we assign the devices we created on flespi to the map view too ?

Thank you.

dexif

Unfortunately this is not possible. Mapview was designed to be a simple tool for displaying any data on the map. It does not perform requests to the flespi service. You can only manipulate the data on the mapview using commands (playground) sent from the page where the mapview is embedded.

AsiriSenanayaka You can use MapView embedded directly into calculator configuration for this. Google Maps is a 3rd party application for flespi.

Here is more details about flespi calculators and how to use them: https://flespi.com/analytics

AdityaRatnayaka It should be easy for you, just navigate to https://flespi.io/gw/#/gw/calculators/post_calcs, click on ADD OBJECT, click on ADD SELECTORS, type Geofences and click on ADD GEOFENCE. You will have a map by mouse click it you may construct the geofence.

After that look at the JSON payload of your request, at the bottom.
