Through this app, you can send and receive messages (TaskData and Telemetry (send only)), connecting farming machinery and farming applications via Agrirouter 2.0. The Agrirouter is a cloud solution that enables farmers and contractors to transfer data between farming machinery from several manufacturers and several farming applications from different application providers. For further information, please visit https://docs.agrirouter.com/agrirouter-interface-documentation/latest/introduction.html After completing the initial onboarding process, you will be able to start exchanging data: in the case of data sending (TaskData/Telemetry), these must be generated by another app Roj Agrimotion App called Agri-Motion X-tend (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=it.orangepix.ROJPCSW1PLUS) and then shared with this app, which will handle the sending; in the case of data reception from FMIS (TaskData only), these can then be shared with other apps including Agri-Motion X-tend.
