  Thanks for the input!
  I just wanted a verification.

  Never did anything with Puck and good to know it can send that information.

  Never thought of using a Puck and a magnet on the same vehicle.
  Actually the number of fuel dispenser is less than vehicle.
  By putting the magnet on the fuel dispenser handle, I think I save a bit of magnets.
  Testing for the magnetometer reading would be interesting though.

  Is it possible to use Puck.js as a fuel dispenser logger?

  What I have in mind:

  • Install Puck.js on vehicle. Attach vehicle plate number information to Puck.js.
    
  • Install magnet or Puck.js on fuel dispenser handle.
    
  • When refueling, Puck.js on vehicle will be close to magnet/Puck.js on fuel dispenser handle.
    
  • This will trigger the Puck.js on vehicle to send vehicle plate number information to nearby phone.
    
  • Phone will use this information together with refueling time, phone location to log the refueling event.
    
  • Once refueling is completed, puck.js stop sending vehicle plate number information.
    
    

  Possible issues

  • Fuel dispenser handle is made of metal too. Will the magnet on fuel dispenser work for Puck.js to detect?
    
  • How does Puck.js on fuel dispenser trigger the Puck.js on vehicle to send information to phone?
    
    

  Is there a better way to log fuel dispenser usage?
