Email and SMS real time alarm system for sensor networks

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009

Sending alarm messages when some data goes above or below a certain threshold is a common task in a wireless sensor network deployment.Real time and critic systems require quick and reliable methods of delivering the information to the desired responsible for taking action on the problem. For this reason, Libelium has included a quick guide about how to send SMS’s and Emails in real time using the Meshlium platform. The guides show how to parse and integrate the frames received in a database, and how to use step by step the Email system and the GPRS module integrated in the device to send these alarm messages.

The sensor information is delivered to Meshlium using the Waspmote platform which will be in the market before the end of this year. All the code is open source. You can access to these guides in the Meshlium Development section.
