[FEATURE] Save battery by sending updates less frequently? #1916

Closed ajpanton closed 2 days ago

ajpanton commented 2 days ago

How frequently does Owntracks send location updates? Actually determining the location probably uses the most power, but would it save anything if it stored them locally for a while and then send them in bursts? Would it make sense to have a setting to send updates every x minutes, (or x minutes starting from when the first item is added to the queue), with 0 meaning send it immediately?

Sending depends on availability. In significant changes mode we send after roughly 500m or several minutes have elapsed, in Move mode as often as possible.

No, this would not really make sense as most people want to know "now" where the devic is.

Closing as unplanned.
