ZIMO + Levy Fleets
MQTT pub/sub meets fleet management.
ZIMO uses MQTT v3.1 for scooter communication—unlike traditional TCP protocols. JSON commands are published to IMEI-based topics with built-in QoS, delivering efficient and reliable fleet control at scale.
MQTT Protocol
Pub/sub JSON commands over MQTT—modern, efficient, low overhead. Each device subscribes to its IMEI-based topic. Commands arrive instantly with configurable QoS levels for guaranteed delivery.
Trip Control
Start and stop trips with rider ID binding. The device knows who is riding and enforces per-rider rules automatically.
Speed Limiting
Configurable per-fleet speed caps pushed via MQTT. Enforce different limits for different zones or rider tiers.
Geofencing
Real-time zone detection and enforcement. Slow-down zones, no-ride zones, and parking-only areas processed on-device.
Line Lock Control
Physical lock relay for anti-theft. The line lock engages a mechanical cable to secure the rear wheel when the scooter is parked.
Real-Time Telemetry
Battery level, speed, GPS coordinates, signal strength, and error codes streamed via periodic MQTT reports. Full fleet visibility without polling—devices push data on their own schedule.
Why ZIMO
Built for the way
modern fleets operate.
ZIMO chose MQTT over TCP for a reason—it is purpose-built for IoT communication. Our integration brings full protocol support with JSON command transparency and built-in message reliability.
Modern MQTT Protocol
Lower overhead than TCP, built-in QoS levels, and native support for unreliable mobile networks. Designed for IoT from the ground up.
JSON Commands
Human-readable command payloads make debugging straightforward. No binary protocol parsing, no hex decoding, no guesswork.
Pub/Sub Architecture
Efficient for large fleets—one broker handles thousands of devices. Add scooters without scaling connection pools.
Trip-Based Model
Designed around the ride lifecycle, not just lock/unlock. Trip start, trip end, rider binding, and fare events are first-class protocol concepts.
How It Works
From broker to live fleet in hours
Connect to Broker
Add ZIMO scooters to Levy Fleets. Each device connects to our MQTT broker using its IMEI as the client ID. Topic subscriptions are provisioned automatically.
Configure Fleet Rules
Set speed limits, geofence zones, trip pricing, and telemetry intervals from the dashboard. Configuration changes are published as JSON and applied instantly.
Riders Start Trips
Riders find scooters on the map and tap to start a trip. The platform publishes a trip-start command, the scooter unlocks, and telemetry begins streaming.
