Has anyone seen an add on module for an home alarm that can send out SMS alerts for when your alarm goes off ?

Just something that will give a simple alert with the zone ?

I haven't seen anything like this but I can't believe its not something that is more common ?

My alarm company send me SMS notification for power failures but I think they generate that their side.
 
Do you know the make and model of your alarm system?

And for sure you definitely get these type of addons.
I have a seriously old DSC 832 alarm system installed, and even that system can get GSM module addons, or ethernet module ect. then you can control alarm system from your web browser ect.

Ok your keypad is the RPK16, that can be used on different series alarms. So will need to model number for the actual controlbox, which should be hidden away somewhere like in a closet or so. Usually a box that you may even have to open just to see what it is.

That said, depending on which one you have, it looks like the functionality is different from the GSM boards.

You can look at this document: http://www.texe.com/uk/uploads/PremierEliteComGSM_Leaflet_3.pdf

Once the module is installed (not as simple as you may think btw), then you need to program the alarm to additionally to sending reports to the alarm company, to also send reports via GSM to you.
 
GSM Commander

Maybe they are using a GSM Commander
Check out gsmcommander.com
 
im with stallion security, and they notify me when the alarm goes off with zone in a sms
 
How technical are you? There are a few people who are working on making PC-based interfaces to the alarm panels (myself via a USB-TTL serial adapter), once the interface is established, sending an SMS is SMOP (simply a matter of programming) :-)

I am looking for a GSM module to. My alarm system is DSC PC1832 and i am using Keypad LCD5511. I will be grateful if you can tell which module or add on module to buy and from where. I live in Seychelles so an "on line" supplier will be more useful but any supplier's name/email address will do. Thanks
 
I've posted details of my add on in another thread. Search for tx-sms. I think the company is rds.
