Re: how to send a sms to activate a device
The following is only pertinent if you wish to send/receive a SMS within Dude.
To send an SMS from the Dude (v2.2), you should gather a CLI tool you can send SMS messages from the command line.
Then you have to set up a new notification of type "Executes locally" or "Execute on server" (it depends from where you have your GSM modem connected), and insert in the "Command" field the command invoking the CLI tool, with the right parameters.
Finally, in the map where you want the event that triggers the SMS sending to be monitored, you have to specify to use that kind of notification when the status of a device changes.
About receiving a SMS within Dude, the only way this could be possible it would be via an external network service monitored through a TCP or SNMP Dude probe, but I don't know of a tool providing such a service.
