This plugin uses Google's Fused Locations API to provide the user's current location in an energy efficient way. It also allows the user to define geo-tagged areas.
Parameters adjusted on the dashboard and client:
- status_google_fused_location: (boolean) activate/deactivate plugin
- frequency_google_fused_location: (integer) How frequently to fetch user's location (in seconds), default 300 seconds
- max_frequency_google_fused_location: (integer) How fast are you willing to get the latest location (in seconds), default 60 seconds
- accuracy_google_fused_location: (integer) One of the following:
- 100 (high power): uses GPS only - works best outdoors, highest accuracy
- 102 (balanced): uses GPS, Network and Wifi - works both indoors and outdoors, good accuracy (default)
- 104 (low power): uses only Network and WiFi - poorest accuracy, medium accuracy
- 105 (no power) - scavenges location requests from other apps
- fallback_location_timeout: (integer) wait X seconds for GPS satellite fix to timeout, default 20 seconds
- location_sensitivity: (integer) move more than X meter(s) to request another location fix, default 5 meters
ACTION_AWARE_LOCATIONS Broadcasted when we have a new location, with the following extras:
- data: (Location) latest location information
ACTION_AWARE_PLUGIN_FUSED_ENTERED_GEOFENCE Broadcasted when we are inside a geofence, with the following extras:
- label: (String) geofence label
- location: (Location) geofence location information
- radius: (double) geofence radius (in meters)
ACTION_AWARE_PLUGIN_FUSED_EXITED_GEOFENCE Broadcasted when we left a geofence, with the following extras:
- label: (String) geofence label
- location: (Location) geofence location information
- radius: (double) geofence radius (in meters)
