SMS and domotic software (homeseer)
Hi all, i was thinking about a SMS management in Homeseer.
I found some topics (Bwired with its own apllication and others GAMMU for linux) , but may be these are "not so simple examples" i can achieve with my domotic knowledge [:)].
I use Homeseer , do you know some software windows based or plugins able to work with HS , not expensive please and supporting a common GSM phone (not expensive GSM modems).
My goals: to able to receive SMS from HS on allert, to receive confirmation by HS about some "inputs received"
Cheers, Lorenzo

You could also consider using a SMS service provider on the Internet. Some of them provide HTTP API so a simple HTTP GET will suffice to send an SMS. No need of extra hardware, only a simple piece of software.

I'm using the Viopbuster SMS option
this is working for 90%..
There is a plugin in development but not yet ready.
Plugin will use GSM for sending messages.

Go to Voipbuster
create account
just put the next line in the event action of scripting part and update with your account settings
hs.launch "iexplore.exe", "https://myaccount.voipbuster.com/clx/se ... xt=Deurbel"

For skype there is a plugin available
for other providers..maybe Digit can help with some scripting

@Lorenzo:
Chak already answered[:)]
I don't use Homeseer, i'm not able to SMS yet, but it should be very easy to do from my own software. I was just in the process of looking at the possibilities of web-based SMS when your topic popped up[:)]
All i have to do is pass a URL like to a HTTPClient class.
I'm going to make the SMS-client this evening, so give me your number and i'll send you SMS when it's finished...[:D]

Digit, i tried to understand , i found this : "HttpClient is a client class for the HTTP protocol. It can be used to interact with another web server from within a PHP script. As well as retrieving information from a server, HttpClient can interact with a server via POST or GET. It can therefore be used as part of any script that needs to communicate with an application running on another site".
Ok, so i place in HS-script menu , like Chak showed? If that is, what are differences/advantages with little code by Chak?
thanks

When you do just like Chak you'll be fine.
I was talking about what i have to do in my own HA app since i do not use HS. So not of much use for you actually. [:o)]

OK, this is HA app -> SMS. How do you receive SMS -> HA app?
My "solution" is to use an ancient Nokia cellphone and poorly documented F-BUS protocol (just like in gnokii) and a better way of doing it is a proper GSM modem, but if you can receive SMS from a service like this voipbuster then I wouldn't have to do either!
