Traccar is a free and open-source modern GPS tracking system. If you want to feed the telemetry data from flespi to Traccar, follow the steps below.
1. Create a unit in Traccar
Click on the Add ("+") button to add a new device. Give it a name and type in its unique identifier (usually IMEI).
2. Configure stream in flespi
When in the flespi panel, navigate to Telematics hub -> Streams -> "+" to add a new stream
Protocol_id — traccar
Then in Configuration type in the Host and Port of your Traccar server.
Important: port 5149 is dedicated for flespi, so no matter what hardware originally transmits data to the platform, the port should be the 5149, not the protocol-specific one.
3. Subscribe the stream to the channel
Once the stream is created, click on it to open settings.
Navigate to the Channels tab (or Devices tab if you want to forward data from specific devices only).
Click the green '+' button to pick the channel (or device) to instruct the stream to forward data from it.
4. Check message delivery
If you see the “stream has sent messages” log records in the stream Toolbox tab, it means flespi started forwarding the data via the stream:
And you should now see your messages in the Traccar system:
