I created a webhook in the console. When I use the test button, I see data pushed to my web hook. But otherwise nothing comes across. I suspect I need to modify the firmware of the device (TrackerOne) to trigger the webhook. I have read a few articles (for example: Easy vehicle tracking with Particle Tracker One - PT1 - Hackster.io) that don't explicitly do anything with the firmware. So I'm confused. My device is in a sandbox, could that be the issue? I do see events landing in the Particle console. Thanks in advance for any help.
Hi,
You do not need to modify your firmware.
In order to double check you Tracker is up and running, you can send it this command via its console:
{"cmd":"get_loc"}
You should see the following events few seconds after:
One key thing here: the webhook gets triggered when the event name matches, so you need to change the webhook event to loc or loc-enhanced (whichever you choose to use):
source of the image: the hackster project you linked.
Best of luck!

That was it! Thank you so much. I am seeing events in my AWS logs now. I appreciate the help. I suppose when I figure out how to connect the Tracker One to my CAN bus I'm going to have to deal with the firmware. One step at a time... Thanks again!
Happy to hear the good news and yes, you will need to invest some time in that.
