Protocol used by GPS tracking devices manufactured by TKSTAR headquartered in China.
flespi parses the Tkstar protocol messages into a JSON object with the
fields listed below in the Parameters tab.
To connect your tracker using the TK-Star protocol, you need to have a tkstar 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.
It is possible to configure TK-Star devices OTA using the flespi web-based configurator tool. To connect TK-Star to Wialon or another platform via flespi please read this article.
