Title: Can someone explain how Geographical Areas work?
Post by: ChrisC on February 13, 2022, 08:17:07 PM
I'm trying to add some locations for our devices, and I can't find any instructions for Configuation -> Geographical Areas

I've tried adding in coordinates, one per line, which just results in error saying "Cannot parse area border point".
When I try and import a .kml file, nothing happens.

How am I supposed to use this function?

Thanks,

This was added during one pilot project, not yet documented.

The kml file should contain one closed polygon. Then, for devices that report geographical coordinates (nodes, mobile devices) events will be generated on enter and exit from the polygon.
