I would like to send a text message to a cell phone when certain alarms occur.

I have read some of the other post which don't give a straight forward answer on how to accomplish this task.  Also the newest post on this topic is from 2005.  I'm sure things have changed since then.

Please help me with a step by step solution.

Thanks for your help!

I'm sorry that things haven't changed much since then. 3rd party software or hardware are needed in order to send message to cell phone.

If the cell phone receives email and the computer running Lookout has internet access you could use the mailer object.  Your ISP would need to accept unauthenticated SMTP traffic or you would need to relay through your own SMTP server.  The mailer object has some limitations, but when it works it works very well.

I downloaded the demo version of Win911 because I want to send text messages to cell phones using Lookout 6.0. Does anyone know if Win911 can do this, and if so how to set it up?

Thanks!

You may use U.C.ME-OPC to send text messages to any cell phone. You may use a cellular modem that is connects to a serial COM port. In addition you may send an email that will be received as an SMS or eamil. If you use a cellular modem you may also send commands (for example: change or query values) from your cell phone to Lookout through U.C.ME-OPC.

U.C.ME-OPC connects to Lookout using OPC or DDE.
