Thanks for the response.  I have looked at the Jaycar kit and it will do the
job if you only want to turn switches on and off and receive alarms etc.
There are quite a few other SMS controllers available that will also do
this.  I was looking for a device to actually send data from the sensors.

Regards
Peter
