We are still waiting on more clarity on broadcasting full precision on the unencrypted channels or known keys, and we need to have a mqtt data policy in place before adding any full precision features on those channels.

does it also make sense to increase the default position transmission interval to say 5min for this role, regardless of the previous setting and smart position settings since the device would probably not be moving?

It's already 5mins with smart position off, I believe...
