What is CommandAlert?

CommandAlert is the ultimate fully programmable and automated remote control mechanism to monitor and/or control applications or devices in homes, offices and farms via your cell phone.

How it works

• CommandAlert will notify you of remote events, and enable you to control equipment at remote locations via simple, self-created, SMS/text instructions sent to/from your cell phone.
• It operates with any cell phone network. All you need to do is install any prepaid or contract SIM card of your choice and you’re instantly up and running.
• CommandAlert provides some security interfacing, however if you are seeking a via-SMS technology dedicated to security, then the fully wireless TextAlert is more suitable.

Benefits

• Multiple uses (see below)
• Easy to configure and use
• Complex tasks are made easy
• Extremely agile in application – the variety of devices that can be controlled, and ways to control devices are only limited by the user’s imagination
• Download manuals off our website (see below)
• Extended capabilities – for example we can provide specialised detection components, better cellular reception through high-gain antennas and extended antenna cabling to maximize cell network reception
• Where necessary, UPS battery backup and solar power can provide you with rapid, cost-effective and hassle-free installation
