Protocol used by GPS tracking devices manufactured by Topin headquartered in China.
flespi parses the Topin protocol messages into a JSON object with the
fields listed below in the Parameters tab.
To connect your tracker using the Topin protocol, you need to have a topin 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 Logs & Messages tab on the device screen to check if the messages are coming.
