How Does It Work?

Rinho is not a simple GPS tracker. It is an intelligent system capable of making decisions autonomously.

The key concept: Trigger - Action

All of Rinho’s functionality is based on simple logic:

IF something happens THEN do something
TRIGGER
→
ACTION

Example: If the vehicle exceeds 120 km/h -> send alert to server + activate buzzer

What can it detect? (Triggers)

The device can react to multiple situations:

Vehicle
  • Engine On / Off (ignition)
  • Speed (greater or less than X)
  • Course change
  • Movement / Rest
Location
  • Enter geofence
  • Exit geofence
  • Valid / invalid GPS
Inputs/Outputs
  • Digital input change
  • Analog threshold (fuel)
  • Temperature (1-Wire)
  • iButton (identification)
Time
  • Every X seconds
  • Every X meters
  • Scheduled time
  • Event timeout

See complete list of triggers

What can it do? (Actions)

When a condition is met, the device can:

ActionDescription
Send reportTransmit position and status to server (GPRS/SMS)
Generate eventSend alert with specific code
Activate outputTurn on relay (engine cut-off, siren, etc.)
Deactivate outputTurn off relay
Modify flagChange internal variable for complex logic
Increment counterFor statistics (trips, stops, etc.)

Logic rules: The real power

Rules allow combining conditions to create complex logic:

IF (Speed > 80) AND (Geofence = "School Zone") -> Send alert
IF (Ignition = OFF) AND (Movement = YES) -> Towing alert
IF (Door = Open) AND (Engine = Running) -> Activate buzzer

Rules can be enabled/disabled at any time, allowing behavior adaptation according to needs.

How is it programmed?

Everything is configured through text commands sent via:

  • Serial port (USB) - Initial configuration
  • SMS - Remote configuration
  • GPRS - From your tracking platform

Rule example:

>SRL01E;TRG=IN00-;ACC={GCQ99H;TXT=PANICO}{SSSXP0111}<

“When input 0 is activated (panic button), send high priority alert and activate output 1 (siren)”

See Event Engine

The device constantly evaluates and executes rules autonomously
