SMSEagle devices are equipped with digital inputs (DI) and digital outputs (DO). The digital inputs can be used to receive signals from outside sensors or devices and automatically trigger sending of SMS message based on input state. On the other hand the digital outputs may be used to activate external devices connected to the outputs when certain SMS messages are received by SMSEagle.
Digital Inputs/Outputs
Plugin configuration
The plugin “Digital input/output” allows you to define rules that control the behaviour of digital inputs/outputs on SMSEagle device. User may define several processing rules for both inputs and outputs.
Digital inputs
For each processing rule for digital input user can define:
- The rule name
- Port number
- State of input signal that will trigger sending of SMS message (field “When input signal”)
- SMS text (field “Send SMS message”)
- The recipient’s name from phonebook
- Alert timeout
Digital Outputs
For each processing rule for digital output user can define:
- The rule name
- Port number
- On what condition digital output should be set (all incoming messages, when incoming SMS comes from specified contact in phonebook and/or when incoming SMS text contains given value)
- State of output signal that will be triggered by incoming SMS message
- Output signal duration in seconds (0 = without time limit)
- Output signal delay before signal is set
