Hello, I've a new extension and you can check it and give me feedback to improve it.

KSafe is a free, open-source safety extension for Karoo GPS devices. It monitors your ride and automatically alerts your emergency contacts if something goes wrong — crash detected, no check-in, or speed suddenly drops — and allows you to manually trigger an SOS from your ride screen.

Beyond emergency alerts, KSafe can also notify your contacts when you start or finish a ride, optionally including a real-time Karoo Live tracking link. This is a better alternative to the default email notification that Karoo already offers: KSafe sends it via WhatsApp, Telegram, or push notification, directly to your contacts' phones.

  Looks good!

  I’ve installed it on my Karoo and I’ve sent some test messages successfully.

  Is it possible to set up more than one emergency contact?

  Hello! What provider do you use? Some providers can have more than one, others don't accept.

  Thanks ;)

  Next version will have two more. Callmebot only accept one at time (because they have other payment service ... ) but I'll add two more callmebot api/phone to use it (the same message will be sent it to all) 

  New version will have a lot of new features (carb and hydration tracker, HR alerts, Carb and hydratation alerts, etc) and more callmebot users 

  Please if you can check Sent logs, I'll be able to improve crash detection. Now I only have data from 3 different users and crash detection needs more data to be accurate.

   

  Regards

  I've decided to change to the Pushover provider, as it gives me more contacts and it seems be more snappy in sending messages than WhatsApp.

  Looking forward to V2 - lots of exciting features!

  Where’s the best place to give feedback or raise issues? Here or on your GitHub site? I’ve posted two issues there.
