Introduction

The configuration settings controls the behaviour of the AutoPi Mini device.

note

Like any AutoPi Cloud functionality, configuration settings can be changed programmatically through the AutoPi REST API. For more information see our API docs page.

This documentation provides an overview of the adjustable settings on the AutoPi Mini device, helping you optimize its functionalities for your vehicle type.

Obd settings

Name	Description	Default
Obd Feature	Specifies how the device communicates with the vehicle’s onboard diagnostics (OBD) system.	OBD (auto)

tip

If you have an internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle, select OBD (Auto) in the OBD Feature field. This is the default setting for all AutoPi Mini devices. If you have an electric vehicle (EV), select Non-OBD Compliant in the OBD Feature field.

Obd Vin Settings

tip

If your device cannot automatically detect the VIN, you can enter it manually in the VIN field after selecting Manual for VIN Source.

System

Name	Description	Default
Ignition settings	Specifies how the system detects vehicle ignition status.	Power Voltage or Engine RPM

tip

If you have an ICE vehicle, select Power Voltage or Engine RPM as the ignition detection method. If you have an EV, select Accelerometer for ignition detection.

Tracking

This setting is used to determine if a vehicle has been driven by using these 2 sources:

• Trip start/stop - created events for both trip start and trip stop that can be found under Device > Events; the whole trip taken can be seen in Vehicle > Trips.
• obd.rpm - values for RPM detected from the vehicle.

Name	Description	Default
Source	What data source should be used to determine if a vehicle/asset has been used/driven? Changing this will only apply to new data being logged.	Trip start/stop
