Re: Remote control via SMS

["ben_simplyautomate" <beng_simplyautomate@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The SC2800 or SC9000 is activated by a voice call then numeric button
press control only - not SMS.

There is a new product called GSM Guard Wireless Alarm System
(GSMGUARD) by Marmitek which takes a SIM card and looks like the sort
of features you need.

Grab the manual here:
http://www.marmitek.com/en/manual/9694.pdf
and see what you think!

It even has a built-in relay and a delayed "off" which can be set
by
"RELAY-TIME X.X" where X.X is time in minutes.

Hope that helps!
Ben
