RE: [misterhouse-users] Mobile phone attached to MH to send SMS?

[UKHA <mai...@va...>]

There are a few issues from my perspective,

1) It's cheaper/quicker to send a text message than to send an email (from
mobile to home).
2) I can set up templates on the phone for each of the most useful commands
and then select the one I need and send it without any typing...
3) If the house is attacked/burgled, and the phone line is cut, or the adsl
connection is down, the mobile phone connected to the MH box adds a second
outgoing channel to inform me...
4) It seems pretty geeky, plus I have a spare old mobile, a PAYG sim for it
and the connecting cable :)

I have to wonder.  Wouldn't it be easier to use email to control MH
and keep the phone with you to send the emails and receive the
responses?
