Smart Ignition detection is a functionality which detects ignition by sudden external voltage jumps instead of manually predefined High and Low voltage thresholds. | |||
Smart Ignition detection is a functionality which detects ignition by sudden external voltage jumps instead of manually predefined High and Low voltage thresholds. This feature is especially beneficial to clients who want to monitor the ignition status of a vehicle based on the voltage of the battery, irregardless of the battery's health. | |||

“Smart Ignition Detection”– detects ignition “on” and “off” automatically by monitoring last “Smart Ignition Duration” seconds of external voltage and comparing it to current external voltage value. If current external voltage value is higher by “Smart Ignition Delta” than external voltage “Smart Ignition Duration” seconds ago, Ignition “on” event is detected. If current external voltage value is lower by “Smart Ignition Delta” than “Smart Ignition Duration” seconds ago Ignition “off” event is detected. | “Smart Ignition Detection”– detects ignition “on” and “off” automatically by monitoring last “Smart Ignition Duration” seconds of external voltage and comparing it to current external voltage value.

In case the vehicle has a variable voltage alternator, also known as a smart alternator, an alternative configuration is advised -- taking into account movement detection by accelerometer, in order to monitor the ignition status of the vehicle. | |||
