How does it work? #

When a remote action is sent to a vehicle, it will trigger notifications during the process. That’s why, before sending any remote, it’s necessary to set up a remote callback. If you are working with monitors already, it is almost the same as posting a monitor.

Callbacks allow to setup the notifications sent by the remote and the address of the targeted server and the retryPolicy and batch sending. Callbacks can be configured to be specific to certain remote types.

Then, it’s possible to send a remote action request using a vehicle ID and the callback ID.

When a remote command is sent to a vehicle, the callback server will receive several notifications as the action is being processed, checkout Notification and Errors for more information about these events.

  • Pending: The remote action is in processing (Accepted, Waking-Up, Send etc.). Several Pending events will be received.
  • Done: The remote action is complete (Success, Failure etc.).
