3• USING TEXT MESSAGES TO CONTROL
The 'Mowerdata' command is causing the robot to send it's recent
history log of events and alarms to the 'Track&Trace' server so it can
be read from the web.
3•4 CONTROLLING THE ROBOT THROUGH SMS
The 4 commands 'BackHome'; 'Restart'; 'TimerOff' and
'TimerOn' can be sent from the ALARM_PHONE or from the
THE GPS/GPRS MODULE
The mobile phone sending the MowerData command is informed
that the command has been received and processed by the robot via
SMS.
When the robot is switched on, the GPS/GPRS module can send
the history log to the server and informs the sender of the SMS with
'Mowerdata requested' message.
When the robot is switched off, the GPS/GPRS module can not get the
history log and can not send it to the server. It informs the sender of the
SMS with 'Robot OFF' message.
CONTROL_PHONE (or from another phone if ALARM_PHONE or
CONTROL_PHONE are not defined) and the sender is receiving a
confirmation SMS with some informations.
The command 'BackHome' is sending back the robot to its charge
station and the robot will stay there until the command 'Restart'
is given. This gives through SMS the same functionality as can be
achieved through the keyboard using buttons 'F2' (BackHome) and 'ON'
(Restart). This allows freeing the field where the robot is operating for
any other usage.
The 'Position' command is sending back:
- ID = unique identification number of the GPS/GPRS
module embedded in the robot
- Position : Last valid position acquired by the GPS
receiver as well as the corresponding time Position.
- A Google map link on which you can click to see the
corresponding position.
- Speed : approximate speed of the robot – the speed
is computed from the GPS module – so there can be
some inaccuracy.
- The number of Satellites in view.
