SMS Commands
The device is fully configurable via SMS commands. The following table shows each command
with a short description. The permitted values/ranges are given in brackets. The subsequent
pages show some examples of how to use these commands.
SMS command
Description
PARAMETER?
Request for a parameter SMS. The device will send a parameter SMS to the
originator.
STATUS?
Request for a status SMS. The device will send a status SMS to the originator.
MASTER1=
Command to set the number for Master1. Default: NA [max. 18 characters]
MASTER2=
Command to set the number for Master2. Default: NA [max. 18 characters]
MASTER3=
Command to set the number for Master3. Default: NA [max. 18 characters]
TEMPALARM=
Command to enable or disable the temperature alarm. [YES/NO]
TEMPMAX=
Command to set the threshold temperature in °C for the temperature alarm.
[0 … 100]
TEMPMIN=
Command to set the threshold temperature in °C for the temperature alarm.
[-
20 … 100]
MOVEALARM=
Command to enable or disable the move alarm. [YES/NO]
Note:
By enabling the move alarm, the current position will be saved as the
‘home position’ and the anchor alarm becomes disabled. The RADIUS
parameter gives the permitted movement of the boat around the home
position. If the boat moves out of the set radius, the
Yacht Sentinel
sends MOVE-
OUT to the masters. If the boat moves back within 15m of the home position, the
Yacht Sentinel
sends MOVE-IN to the masters.
RADIUS=
Command to set the permitted movement in meters if the move alarm is enabled.
[20 … 200]
Note:
The permitted range is from 20m to 200m. Since the
Yacht Sentinel
works
internally with steps of 5m, the set value will be rounded to the last even multiple
of 5 e.g. a radius of 27m becomes 25m.
ANCHORALARM=
Command to enable or disable the anchor alarm. [YES/NO]
Note:
By enabling the anchor alarm, the current position will be saved as the
‘home position’ and the move alarm becomes disabled. The parameter SWING
gives the permitted movement of the boat around the home position. If the boat
swings out of the set radius, the
Yacht Sentinel
sends ANCHORALARM to the
masters.
SWING=
Command to set the permitted movement in meters if the anchor alarm is
enabled. [20 … 200]
Note:
The permitted range is from 20m to 200m. Since the
Yacht Sentinel
works
internally with steps of 5m, the set value will be rounded to the last even multiple
of 5 e.g. a swing of 27m becomes 25m.
SMSTO=
Normally the device will send a parameter or status SMS to the originator of a
received SMS. In some cases, it is useful to send the requested SMS to another
destination. If so, then
the destination number can be set by the parameter SMSTo=. Example:
SMSTo=+44123456789
BATT=
Command to set the type of battery to either 12 V or 24 V or if ‘off’ set the supply
type to shore power. See note 1
SUPPLYALARM=
Command to enable or disable the battery alarm.[ON/OFF] see note 1
SETDEFAULTS!
This command sets all parameters/settings to default values except master
numbers and password
