I have to build a "model" home security system that sends any alert to a mobile phone via text message.

I am having trouble finding information on how to do this. Can anyone help?

 

A standard telephone dialer can be triggered to dial a number (a mobile phone number if you choose) on a switch closure.

 

You don't need a dialer, but you will need software and an Internet connection to send the SMS message. Check out SmartHome. They already have hardware and software to do just this.

Hi,

Try with Unitronics’ M90/M91 and Vision OPLC Series, I tested it time ago and it really works.

sensor - PC:
Use an OPC Server to communicate to your I/O (EIB, Modbus...). Then configure the OPC Alarms&Events client software "AlarmWorX MMX" to subscribe to the alarms that come from your aYou can glue a few OPC modules to get flexible alarm annunciation.

sensor to PC:
install an OPC Server (e.g. OPC Modbus with integrated OPC Alarms&Events) on your PC

PC to mobile phone:
Install AlarmWorX MMX,configure it to subscribes to the OPC Alarms&Events server and set the paging agent to get to know your phone numbers.

Should take no more than 10 minutes to setup. It will be fun to test other annunciation agents as well. (email, text-2-speech, fax...)

The software can be tested for free.

How about using the joystick port, digital and/or analog.. getting the value, and then using winsock or any smtp activex control, sned yourself an email msg to your phone... multiple I/O... well you need to do some investigation for that!!

A single VB program will do this with available code...

and this doesn't cost anything!!!!!!!! Guys... forgive me for saying so but using an OPC server which isn't free (industrial price points), and ANY hardware that's industrial in nature costs more than this project is worth...

Let's try and focus on the solutions that can be realistically implemented for the project at hand... that's why most come here... real solutions for their real problems...

sorry for the rant...

How about this? Uses a relay contact connected to a computer comm port pins. Then with VB make a simple program that uses RTS, CTS, or DTR it can send an email.

If you need some help with this let me know.

of course you can do this, and very easy if you use Siemens PLC system (s7-200). i know the solution, send me a email: [email protected]

 

The TBOX offers a controller and monitoring solution, alarming system and dialer, and Internet compatibility to send emails and reports as well as allowing a web server to remotely view and even control functions.

The programming and configuration is easy. See http://www.tbox.us or feel free to contact me for information and application examples. It is ideal for building monitoring and automation.

You may use U.C.ME-OPC that may connect to any SCADA/HMI software that supports OPC or DDE server functionality.

Alarms may be sent as text messages (SMS) to any cell phone. In addition, you may acknowledge the alarms via SMS or perform "query value" or "change value" commands via SMS.
