Power On/Off Alerts in ShadowGPS

Sometimes, it’s not just where your device is that matters—it’s whether it’s even awake. That’s where Power On/Off Alerts come in.

This feature is specific to ShadowTrack (Non-OBD) devices and is designed to notify you the moment your device powers on or shuts down. Whether someone’s unplugging your tracker or the vehicle is just taking a nap, you'll know about it.

How It Works

In the Alert Configuration section:

  • Look for Power On/Off Alerts.

  • You’ll see toggles for both Power On and Power Off.

  • Enable either (or both!), depending on what you want to be notified about.

Once set, you’ll get an alert the moment your device powers up or shuts down. It's like your device texting you: "Hey, I'm back!" or "Going dark. Talk soon."

Why It Matters

  • Awareness: Track when your vehicle starts or ends its day.

  • Peace of Mind: No more guessing games.

So go ahead—flip the switch and let ShadowGPS keep you in the loop when your device wakes up or powers down.
