FMC003 - sending command from custom app to device and receiving responses

I’ve designed a custom app that reads vehicle data from the FMC 003 via Bluetooth classic

I’m aware your data Sims do not have a dedicated phone number meaning it’s not possible to send SMS commands directly to the FMC 003 no I assume receive SMS output from the device

Is the solution to have my app communicate to the FMC003 using API of the FOTAWEB for the platform to then send the commands to the FC003 via socket connection the next time the FMC 003 send a heartbeat to the FOTWEB platform

If the above process is correct am I then able to configure in the FMC003 where to send any corresponding output

Example the user of my custom app my wish to remotely activate live tracking on the FMC 003 and a very short interval

So the use of the app would send the command string to activate live interval reporting tracking via the API connection to the FOTAWEB for then FOTAWEB to send that command to the FC003 the next time the heartbeat connection is receives from the FMC003, this would activate short interval reporting tracking on the FMC003 who’s location data output would need to be sent to a third-party tracking server.

Please review the above and advise if the process describe is correct and if not advise the correct process and if it’s possible to have the output of the FC003 to be sent to the third-party server

Hello @SpeedlessDriving,

I hope you are doing well. FMC003 is capable of receiving SMS; however, it is dependent on the SIM card that you are using, if it is not an M2M SIM card.

You may directly send commands to the device using SMS/GPRS commands; however, if you wish to send commands using your custom application, you just need to follow the same command structure.

For more information about SMS commands, you may refer to this link: FMC003 SMS/GPRS Commands - Teltonika Telematics Wiki

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
