Controlling heating cables using Arduphone?

Former Member
Former Member over 11 years ago

Hello good people of element 14.

 

I have a question I hope some of you more educated people out there can answer better than me.

I have a summer place 3 hours from home, and during the winter I have heating cables in my water pipes to prevent the pipes from cracking due to ice. Currently I have a simple switch inside the hut to turn it on and off. What I am wondering about is if I could use my phone to send a SMS from home to an Arduphone with a SIM card in it at the summer place which is again connected to an Arduino uno for example that recognizes the text in the sms for example "turn heating cables on", and will then give power to a relay that controls the heating cables. just to be safe it would be nice it would be nice if the Arduphone could send a confirmation SMS back when it has turned on the heating cables.

 

Then later if I want to I could program the system to recognize more text, and expand from there.

 

But this depends on if the Arduphone can communicate with another Arduino, and how.

 

Thanks in advance for your help!

-Fredrik

    Buy yourself a proper relay, which you can connect to the heaters main and also connect 1 pin and ground from the uno to the relay. When you send the SMS to turn on the pin it will trigger allowing AC power to flow turnning on the heat.

     

    Hope this helps

    totally agree, if your going to do this, safety first, dont risk yourself or the electronics, a relay is a great way to isolate the heater from the electronics
