Information in the section applies to the device UniPing server solution v3/SMS with a built-in GSM modem.
A device has a feature of remote controlling by using SMS commands.
Syntax of SMS Commands
A general format of a test of an SMS command:
where:
fff – is a code of a command, for example, Р1+ (see below).
community_w – is a password that corresponds to the SNMP community for read. It is set in the page «SETUP» of a device web interface. It is possible to use Latin letters, numbers, and some special characters
kkkkk – is a request identifier (a random number of 3 to 9 digits). It is repeated in a response for setting a correspondence between a request and a response. It is an optional command element. If there is no identifier in a command, there is no identifier in a response.
A text of a command is case insensitive. It is possible to use uppercase and lowercase letters. Elements of a command are separated by spaces. It is not acceptable to use the next characters: ‘ (apostrophe), “ (quote), @. Including these characters can cause the firmware failure. Execution of a command is confirmed by a response notification (see below).
Codes of Commands
A code of a command is specified together, with no spaces.
| Command Code | Description |
|---|---|
| Pn+ | Switch on a relay n, where n is a relay number |
| Pn- | Switch off a relay n, where n is a relay number |
| PnR | Reset a relay n, where n is a relay number A polarity (direction) of switching a relay when resetting must correspond to the specified one in settings of the module «Watchdog» (reset mode). If a relay is already in a reset status, a reset command will have no effect. At the same time, a response notification about its successful execution «NP DONE PnR» will be sent to a sender. |
| PnW | Switch a relay n to the management mode «Watchdog», where n is a relay number |
| PnS | Switch a relay n to the management mode «Schedule», where n is a relay number |
| PnX | Switch a relay n to the management mode «Schedule+Watchdog», where n is a relay number |
| PnL | Switch a relay n to the management mode «Logic outout», where n is a relay number |
| Pn? | Request a status of a relay n, where n is a relay number |
| P? | Request a status of all relays in a brief form |
| Lm+ | Switch a line m into the status logic 1, where m is a number of an IO line |
| Lm- | Switch a line m into the status logic 0, where m is a number of an IO line |
| LmP | Issue a pulse to the line m, where m is a number of an IO line |
| Lm? | Request a status of a line m, where m is a number of an IO line |
| L? | Request a status of all IO lines in a brief form |
| N? | Request a status of a pinger on the page «SMS» |
| Ka | Send an IR command through the module IRC-TR v2, where a is a command number |
| Tb? | Request readings of a temperature sensor b, where b is a number of a temperature sensor |
| Hx? | Request readings of a humidity sensor x, where x is a number of a humidity sensor |

Response Notifications to SMS Management Commands
Confirming of executing a command, such as switching a relay or changing a status of a discrete output line:
where:
fff – is a code of an outgoing command, executing which is confirmed by the notification. For example, Р1+
kkkkk – is an identifier of a request (random number from 3 to 9 digits). It is repeated in a response to establish a compliance between a request and a response. It is an optional command element. If there is no identifier in a command, there is no identifier in a response
An error when reading a command by a device. Most probably, the incorrect text of an outgoing command:
where:
Outgoing command – is a text of an outgoing command, quoted completely.
kkkkk – is a request identifier (a random number from 3 to 9 digits). It is repeated in a response to establish compliance between a request and a response. It is an optional command element. If there is no identifier in a command, there is no identifier is a response
An incorrect password (Community) in an outgoing command:
where:
kkkkk – is a request identifier (a random number from 3 to 9 digits). It is repeated in a response to establish a compliance between a request and a response. It is an optional command element. If there is no identifier in a command, there is no identifier in a response (a second command)
Response Notifications to SMS Commands of Requesting a Status/State
A response to a request (NETPING Pn? community_w kkkkk) about a relay status:
where:
n – is a relay number
b – is a relay status. Possible relay statuses are coded by the next characters: «M+» (switched on manually), «M-» (switched off manually), «W+» (switched on by a watchdog), «W-» (switched off by a watchdog), «S+» (switched on by a schedule), «S-» (switched off by a schedule), «X+» (switched on by a schedule+watchdog), «X-» (switched off by schedule+watchdog), «L+» (switched on by logic), «L-» (switched off by logic).
kkkkk – is a request identifier (a random number from 3 to 9 digits). It is repeated in a response to establish a compliance between a request and a response. It is an optional command element. If there is no identifier in a command, there is no identifier in a response
A response to a request (NETPING P? community_w kkkkk) about a status of all relays:
where:
n – is a relay number
