Output data

Information provided

When executed, this operation delivers the following data, which can be used in the same automatic task.

• Tags

• Position known {{found}}

  No when the tag has never reported a position. The step does not stop the task on its own: add a rule on this value if you want it to stop.

• Tag id {{device_id}}

• Tag name {{device_name}}

• Latitude {{latitude}}

• Longitude {{longitude}}

• Accuracy (m) {{accuracy}}

  Radius in metres of the circle the tag is somewhere inside. Indoors it grows a lot: a jump of a few dozen metres between readings is usually noise, not movement.

• Map link {{map_url}}

• Reading date (UTC) {{updated_at}}

  When the tag sent this position, in UTC. It is not the moment the step ran.

• Reading date (epoch) {{updated_ts}}

• Minutes since the reading {{minutes_ago}}

  How old the reading is. A number that keeps growing means the tag is not reporting: switched off, out of coverage or out of battery.

• Battery (%) {{battery_level}}

  Charge left, from 0 to 100. Put a rule on this value to be warned early, for example below 20.

• Needs charging {{needs_charge}}

  Yes when BoT itself is flagging the tag as needing a charge. It fires late; for an early warning use the percentage.
