How do you know the plug-in is not working? Maybe you simply have a problem with your own http requests.

see wiki “Debugging” and learn to observe logs from the plug-in log database. Also see api docs “Logger”

Thanks for the response.

plugin version: 4.13.3 A while is about one hour in my case.

I have an alert on my android that says that the service has been startedand the time since the service started working. That is why I think that geolocation is not trigering. Is the config ok?
