No longer sending SSID/BSSID

• Android version: 14
• Device: Samsung Galaxy S23
• Installation source: Google Play

The app no longer sends SSID and BSSID for the connected wifi access point. This was working ok in previous versions - I'm not sure exactly when it stopped.

I'm still seeing them in 2.5.3 (Galaxy S8)

If you're using our Recorder: have you verified that the data isn't in a _type: location record?

[CiaranG]

I'm using my own HTTP endpoint. This is what I see posted:

{'_type': 'location', '_id': '82486537', 'acc': 12, 'alt': 80, 'batt': 71, 'bs': 1, 'cog': 0, 'conn': 'w', 'created_at': 1729344894, 'lat': 0, 'lon': 0, 'm': 2, 'tid': '01', 'topic': 'owntracks/owntracks1/galaxys23', 'tst': 1729344893, 'vac': 3, 'vel': 0}

So conn is w for WiFi, and previously that would have been accompanied by SSID and BSSID in the same message, right?

(I have redacted lat/lon out of your message for your privacy.)

Could you please explicitly publish a message (up-arrow on top right of map)? That should add a "t":"u" element to the JSON. Do SSID/BSSID show then?

[jpmens]

Are you also quite sure your endpoint is not removing values? What you posted above is not the JSON string received from the device ...

[CiaranG]

Thanks - I decided the lat/lon didn't really matter as I wasn't at the secret batcave, but it's best not to set a bad example!

Here's what was received as a result of pressing the up-arrow, still no SSID/BSSID...

{'_type': 'location', '_id': '6fd8a7fd', 'acc': 7, 'alt': 80, 'batt': 91, 'bs': 1, 'cog': 108, 'conn': 'w', 'created_at': 172 9491498, 'lat': 0, 'lon': 0, 'm': 2, 't': 'u', 'tid': '01', 'topic': 'owntracks/owntracks1/galaxys23', 'tst': 1729491497, 'vac': 3, 'vel': 5}

The output I posted was just directly parsed from the JSON, nothing removed. To be sure, I logged the raw string prior to parsing, here's an example:

{"_type":"location","_id":"ea0bc971","acc":10,"alt":80,"batt":90,"bs":1,"cog":0,"conn":"w","created_at":1729491883,"lat":0,"lon":0,"m":2,"tid":"01","topic":"owntracks/owntracks1/galaxys23","tst":1729491883,"vac":2,"vel":0}

[jpmens]

There's a setting called "extra data" or similar (can't check now). Is that on in the Android OwnTracks app?

[CiaranG]

"Extended data" - it's on, yes. I'm getting the battery status and the connection type, for example.
