Hi,
There are several options you can try:
1. If your cell phone service supports email, you can use the Email object and send out an email from Lookout. There will however be a delay depending on the service.
2. If your cell phone supports SMS messaging, you can send a SMS message using the ASCII Object in Lookout. This however will require you quite some work -- you'll need to kind of implement the SMS protocol for sending messages.
3. A crude and fast solution would be to use a dummy driver Object (say Modbus). We assume that the dummy RTU is connected to your cell phone. So, you would try and "poll" this dummy driver object which has your cell phone number configured, whenever there's an Alarm. This would let
you know (with the 'Caller ID') that there was an Alarm. But, as I said, this is not a clean solution. There will be Comm Alarms for this Dummy RTU on it not connecting "successfully."
Hope this helps,
Khalid 🙂
