What is Power On Notification?
It’s a very powerful tool if set up correctly.
This feature notifies you as soon as any of your devices comes back online.
Power on alert has many uses:
1. Your vehicle/asset gets stolen and taken into low to non mobile and/or GPS signal area. As soon as it comes back online, use the Rules engine to push through a location update or auto-immobilise the vehicle and notify you
2. Your Buddy Watch wanders into low to non mobile &/or GPS signal area and as soon as they come back into the signal area you can make My Buddy Gard rules engine to push through a location update asap and notify you.
3. You’ll know when device is being tampered with E.G. disconnected from OBD2 port and blaming the device for not working, but it suddenly comes back online in the afternoon again.
4. Join the converesation online using #MBGRules and tell your story. How are you utilising this feature?
