SMS from M1

[znelbok]

Dont have an M1 yet, so excuse the question if it is simple or obvious.

Is it possible to get a GSM modem for the M1 to send out SMS on events, and similarly trigger actions upon receipt of a specifically structured message.

if so how would it be connected

I know it's cheating, but couldn't you use the Elk Outputs, CQC triggers, and the CQC SMS driver to get this done?

 

[znelbok]

Yes that is an option

My preference is to keep it all "in-house" so to speak. If there is an alarm condition I don't not want to rely on CQC to send the SMS, that introduces a new set of failure modes to the equation and will allow for a greater chance of the message failing to be sent.

There may be limitations as well in the comms between the two that could prevent some scenarios.

But I dont want it limited to just SMS. Whatever functions are available at the moment by phone I would want via a "mobile phone connection".

The M1 supports the Uplink GSM module currently.
