If you would like to configure your device's behaviour based on the time or day of the week, set the schedule feature.
Please note that this is an advanced feature, so if you require any support, please get in touch.
1. Open the Lightbug Web Portal
2. Go to 'Settings', then to the 'Schedule' page
3. Click on 'ADD RULE'
4. Enter the day, time and frequency that the action will take place
5. Select an action. Your tracker will perform this action on the selected time
No Action: The tracker will do nothing. This action is here as a placeholder if you want to disable rules without deleting them.
Sleep: This will lock the tracker in sleep mode. This means that it will transmit only on beacon interval. You can find and adjust the beacon interval on the Configuration page.
Wake: This will lock the tracker in wake mode. This means that it will transmit on interval. This action is suited for most use cases as it drain the battery faster
Transmit now: The tracker will send one update at the specified time. This action does not affect any of your tracker's update rate settings.
Not sure of which action will work best for you? Here are some examples of how different actions affect the device's behaviour:
Wednesday 8am Wake, Wednesday 4pm Sleep = On Wednesday you will receive frequent updates between 8am-4pm. The rest of the time you will receive sleep updates.
All days 9am Transmit now = you will receive a location update at 9am everyday. This is in addition to any location updates sent due to your trackers settings.
6. Add the rule, and create additional rules if required. When finished, save.
Note: rules are evaluated in order.
A few things to note:
- Settings are automatically saved and will be applied at the next location update. Alternatively, to apply the new settings immediately, press the button on your tracker for 3 seconds
- These rules will override motion detection and geofence
This feature can be a little complicated to set up, so if you have any hesitations, please reach out to us.
