Traccar is a sophisticated open source GPS tracking platform. It is the product of years of development, supports a vast variety of GPS hardware, and is suitable for fleet management. But I didn't need most of that. I just wanted a replacement for my discontinued Automatic adapter. I want push notifications for when my car stops and starts, plus maybe a little extra fun stuff for my hardware hacking hobby. Traccar proved to be opaque to configure for these purposes. And Traccar is written in Java, a language I haven't touched in two decades. This project is a simple answer to that problem. It takes advantage of Traccar's forwarding capabilities: Traccar remains responsible for receiving and decoding GPS events from your hardware, but then forwards activity to this script, which runs a modest local webserver to interpret those events and take action. Note that I have not bothered with some obvious functionality--for instance, an MQTT server is expected; this function can't be disabled. Even more glaringly, only a single vehicle is currently supported! Open an issue if you need that or something else.
