Hi, I’m trying to use setCustomLocation from Node SDK, but I’m getting “Request error: Internal Server Error”. Is this functionality supported on openBalena? I would like to use it to store the location of my devices and show them on a map. For this particular application, I can’t use balenaCloud because there’s no internet access on the devices, it has to be everything on-premise.
Thanks in advance!
Hi @gmerciel,
At the moment open balena doesn’t not have support for device location & custom locations and that’s the reason that the SDK methods are failing.
As a workaround, you can use device tags for associating this extra information with the device.
I would also like to let you know that balena also offers on-premise installations for no-internet-access use cases like the one you described.
Would you be interested having one of our solution engineers to reach you about that?
Kind regards,
Thodoris
Thanks a lot Thodoris. Using device tags as a workaround sounds like a good idea.
About the on-premise offer, it would be great if I could have more information. I could also explain with more details the use case.
Thanks again!
Hi again @gmerciel,
I will give a note to one of our solution engineers and they will reach you about that on your forums email.
Kind regards,
Thodoris
