Wireless text message communication

Former Member

I am in need of sending a short wireless text and email warning message from my invention to designated smart device(s) (phone, tablet, watch, computer)

when our unit is tripped. The unit has a PCB that is powered by a 9V battery which only draws power when the unit is tripped or a "battery test" function is

performed. The unit will be installed outdoors as a monitoring device and is tripped when 5 volts or more of electric current is detected through its sensor. The unit is relatively small

(6"x3"x2") I am looking for companies that would provide a complete solution (hardware & software)?

    Hello Skipe McTighe,

     

    I might be able to assist with that. But I probably need to understand a bit more of you requirements. My understanding is that your product will be running far away from "base stations" so the communication with the Internet/SMS Service will need to be done directly from the device itself, correct?

     

    Let me know the best way to contact you and I'll get in touch.

     

    Cheers,

    Mike M.

    Our Shock Guard 24/7 product monitors a body of water like a swimming pool or spa and when 5V or more of electric current is detected, triggers

    a built in alarm warning of the danger of possible shock or electrocution. Unit also trips a GFI circuit and is powered by a 9V battery. Unit will be installed

    near pools, spas, marina docks, floating docks . . . anywhere people who work or play around the water. It will be close to cell towers, Wi-Fi routers, etc.

     

    I can send you a list of our wireless requirements if you would like.

     

    Thanks for your help.

    Yes please, send the list!

     

    At first look you might have a few options there, but I believe having a GSM/3G connection could the be the most practical way as you don't need to configure connectivity with some random Wi-Fi router. The only "CON" is that you'll need a little SIM Card with a subscription/pre-paid and credit to send a TXT message or perform a TCP connection to send the alert... but should be a very low cost to keep the service running anyway.
