Inactivity
Inactivity triggers when a device hasn't reported a position for a specified duration.
How it works
The system tracks when each device last reported a position. If the time since the last update exceeds the threshold, the rule triggers. This catches devices that have gone offline, lost power, or moved out of hotspot range.
