Sleep: This will lock the tracker in sleep mode. This means that it will transmit only on beacon interval. You can find and adjust the beacon interval on the Configuration page.

Wake: This will lock the tracker in wake mode. This means that it will transmit on interval. This action is not suited for most use cases as it can drain the battery faster.

Transmit: The tracker will send one update at the specified time. This action does not affect any of your tracker's update rate settings.

⚡ Tip

Rules are evaluated in order.
