How to add address resolved by Wialon reverse geocoding into the message?

Using plugins to resolve position coordinates into address using Wialon reverse geocoding API and add it into the device messages.

The "wialon-reverse-geocoding" plugin type is used to apply Wialon reverse geocoding functionality to resolve position coordinates into the specific address.

Click on the "+" button in the Telematics Hub -> Plugins section to create a new plugin:

flespi panel telematics hub plugins

Let's define a new plugin to resolve coordinates into addresses:

add wialon reverse geocoding plugin

Then we need to assign this plugin to the right devices. Go to the Plugins tab for the required device and click the "+" button:

assign wialon reverse geocoding plugin

And then you should be able to see the address fields in the new device messages. Go to the Logs & Messages tab for the given device to check:

check address added by wialon reverse geocoding plugin

Done.

Performance and stability considerations

  • The use of plugins may result in slower messages registration in the flespi platform since it is preceded by requests to the third-party system.
  • We cannot guarantee the performance or stability of the third-party systems involved in the process — in case of their service interruptions flespi will not be able to save messages to devices and will respond with negative ACK and will also terminate the connection if the required flag is set.
