Also got a theft alert when GPS lock was re-acquired... Greg Greg D. wrote:
Hi folks,
Probably a historical reason for this; if not, not a big deal I suppose...
I just got an alert that my car was being transported, possibly due to theft/flatbed. Checked the garage, and the car was sleeping peacefully, as expected. A quick check of the status shows that the GPS has lost lock (don't know why), and presume that's the reason for the alert.
Checked the code (components/ovms_location)... Is there a reason that the theft alert is not qualified by m_gpslock? I suppose one could thwart the theft alert by covering the car in tin foil first, but it seems like a long shot.
Alternatively, is it worth alerting on the loss (and/or restoration) of GPS lock? I'm guessing that might be more annoying than it's worth.
