DIAL-IN EVENTS
ControlMate supports a voice-call from any authorised CLI number to initiate any controller
command. The command for CLI member 'n' may be changed with
Each CLI user may have a different assigned dial-in command.
The ControlMate allows the call to 'ring' twice
however the caller won't know if the device has turned on or off
have SMS assigned to that event, the unit can be configured to send a confirmation of the recent
dial-in event.
When a successful call-in has been made, hang-up within 5 secs, and the controller will make a
return call as notification of a successful access attempt. DO NOT ANSWER THE CALLBACK, or the
SIM account will be charged. Reject or ignore the notification call-back, which will be dropped after
approximately 5 seconds. Call-back notifications may be disabled with
For example, if '
Out 0 Toggle
for up to an hour...
Set the pulse duration for output 0 to hold 'on' for 1 hour... then if a caller dials in, or forgets to call
back, the pump will turn off automatically after an hour anyway. This doesn't help if someone else
dials in 'to be helpful' – soon after you turned the pump on – as they will simply turn the pump off !
Just make sure those in the caller ID access list know what they're doing. The notifications can help
reduce any confusion. If you don't get a call-back – the command may not have been executed – so

Users may be added to the OUTSMS assignments for any output – and they'll be notified by text
message whenever that relay changes state.
SETTING TIMERS
The timer capabilities are extremely flexible. There are multiple timers – each may be set to operate
on one or more days of the week at a specified time.
Example: To set timer #4 to toggle output relay #1 on Weekends at 17:00 (5:00pm) –
SET TIMER 4 17:00 Wke out 1 tog

Caller-ID data is provided between the first and second incoming ring. Ensure the phone making the
incoming call is configured to send Caller-ID information, or ControlMate can't identify the caller by their
number.

The caller's phone number must be correctly stored in the CLI list for a dial-in to be successful. There is no
difference to a dial-in user if their call is accepted or rejected as being a CLI member. It is suggested in this
case that any dial-in output is configured with a pulsed duration, or to send an SMS back to the sender - to
avoid being accidentally toggled the 'wrong' way – thus any dial-in call after the pulse has expired will always
set the output 'on' for another pulse cycle.
