sarol Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 Hi. I'm looking for a cheap sms trap monitoring module. Can anyone suggest any products that can send a sms on a trap triggering. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulJC Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 You'd definitely be looking at something custom made i would have thought, i have made a few SMS notification devices for various things using both Raspberry Pi and Arduino micro controllers/computers and 3G wireless modems, unless you can find something made in bulk the minimum you could knock up a hobbyist approach would probably be about £50 or so...

A1Decoy Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 Hello, We also run a security business here. We have an item which texts you when the PIR is triggered. I think this could somehow be rigged up to text you when one of your traps goes off. Kind regards, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aris Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 I have a device from a company called Mobi-Click. I'm not sure if they are still in business as i've been unable to purchase another unit, but the one i have which is similar to this: http://www.mobi-click.com/home/produkte/compact-2-pa/ It has a PIR and the facility to connect to another device (basically when two contacts connect, it sends an SMS) Once it is set up, it is fairly easy to use. Battery lasts for a couple of days, but you can leave it plugged in too. There are bound to be other items similar to this around - i don't think a bespoke design is necessary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulJC Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 Actually now you say that, i guess i just look the way of bespoke because for me that is the cheapest way usually, but are there not separate car alarm upgrades that can be added with a simple switch circuit that can be triggered to send an SMS...
