Hi all,

I'm trying to do a simple program to do a sms test every friday at a 9am. Just to make sure the system is working fine before weekend.

I have 8 phone numbers in the phone list, but only need to send to the first number.

This is what ive done:

Under Events: Responses

Fixed-yes, description- every friday sms test, name- Fri_Test.

Response Properties:

If Day = 5 And Hours = 9 Then

 Limit Dialout 1

End If

Under Alarm Types:

Im using Dial Test and under "Response" i put "Fri_Test"

Please tell me where i've gone wrong? As i didn't receive any sms on friday.

Also isit possible to type in the message that i wana send, say" sms testing".

I'm not good with programming, so please make it simple, really appreciate all the help.

Thanks

Hi Aldarius,
Welcome to Comfort forum.

Why you didn't receive your sms?
It is because in order for the Comfort system to dial / sms out, one of the 31 pre-configured alarm types will have to be triggered.
Your "Fri_Test" response  does not contain an action to trigger an alarm type.

Your "Fri_Test" response should contain the following action:

      AlarmZone FamilyCare


FamilyCare is one of the alarm type.
This response is better to be triggered by a time program.
Put the "Fri_Test" response under Schedule > Time Programs05 (for example).
Set the time for this Time program to 9 am.
Select Friday as the day and don't forget to tick the Enabled button.

Under Alarm Types > Family Care, check only phone index number 1 as you only want to sms to phone number 1.

You can change the 'FamilyCare' alarm type name to 'smsTesting' so that you will get  the phrase 'sms Testing' in your sms content.

For detailed format of the sms message please refer to the Comfort UCM/GSM2 manual.
