qtripp

The Queclink Track (air) Interface Protocol Processor is a TCP GPRS server for Queclink devices: qtripp obtains GPS positions from these devices and publishes those over MQTT in OwnTracks JSON format as `location objects.

qtripp

requirements

  • an Internet-facing server with an open TCP port
  • a Queclink device. We have tested GV65, GV65+, GV55, GV200MT, and GV500. Others ought to be no problem, though you might have to adapt device configurations from the Protocol documentation.
  • an MQTT broker (see the OwnTracks Booklet)
  • a bit of patience

features

  • configurable MQTT publish topics (device lookup)
  • extensible
  • copious debugging
  • support for device reports with embedded segments (e.g. GTFRI/GTERI)
  • ignore specific device reports
  • configurable reports per/device and on a per/firmware basis
  • fast
  • extra JSON data can be merged in to data from devices
  • OwnTracks JSON support
  • MQTT, TLS, TLS client certificates, user/password authentication
  • list devices connected (console & MQTT)
  • statistics over MQTT
  • statistics dump including subtype stats and IMEI stats.
  • (pseudo-) LWT for devices (when a device disconnects, qtripp publishes LWT)
  • support for 1-Wire temperature sensors (on GV65/GV65+)
  • raw data is copied to file for backup, replay, debugging, etc.
  • optional beanstalkd support (requires beanstalk-client) for mirroring. (sample workers are provided.) beanstalk host/port/tube are configurable; payload is OwnTracks JSON enriched with a field imei and a raw_line field which contains original ASCII device data (+RESP:GT ... $)

beanstalk

  1. clone beanstalk-client into qtripp's directory, cd into that and make. (Apply this fix on macOS.)
  2. in qtripp's Makefile, define BEANSTALK
