Protocol used by GPS tracking devices manufactured by Coban headquartered in China.
flespi parses the Coban protocol messages into a JSON object with the
fields listed below in the Parameters tab.
To connect your tracker using the Coban protocol, you need to have a coban channel created first.
Point your tracker to the channel's domain name:port via SMS or configuration tool provided by the vendor.
Then create a device instance for your tracker and use a 15-character IMEI (usually specified on the tracker casing) in the ident field.
Use the Toolbox tab on the device screen to check if the messages are coming.
If the messages in Toolbox are colored red (past) or grey (future), try changing the timezone setting via the SMS command or on the Settings tab of the device screen.
