Cumulus Support

OK - I have a spare mobile phone and sim card, what do I need to do now ?

TKS

Also - has anyone thought of making one of these so called "apps" for a mobile phone, then I could keep tabs on my weather that way as well ?

Not an app, a different kind of web page

Thanks I will take a look.

Can you just poiint me in the right direction for that earlier mentioned downloable modem. Was it from Microsoft ?

tks

Some info here - I don't know if its upto date or the best - but it's a start !

OK - downloaded the software and connected by spare mobile phone. PC has found the mobile phone and can send sms messages. Now how to I get the "toolbox" to connect to the the mobile phone to send the messages ?

I feel we may be getting somewhere with this - well half way

any thoughts

After reading these 2 pages concerning sms alerts I thought I would add how tis down here.
I have an email address with my cell phone server. I can send and clear email through cell phone.
I have rules set in place as to what has to be done with email coming through that email address.

Any email received with cumulus in the subject line is redirected to my cell phone as a txt message.

Cumulus Toolbox is set to email that email address with alerts if sensor not read in etc. through my broadband/cable/DSL ( whatever you up there call it).

So where ever I am I get a text message if something is wrong.

This is all free. Just pay my broadband/Cable/DSL connection as normal.
