when i get a text from my profilux 3 via sms i don't get all of the tank report,

I run a profilux 3 plus a expansion module,

i get info for 2 x ph, 2 x salinity, 2 x redox. for the air/humidity sensor, all i get is the word air, no ready of the humidity or air temp,

is there a limit of how many characters are sent via text
this is how it reads,

Tank report
ph 1 8.23ph
temp 1 24.1
co.s 1.0186
redx 1---
ph2 7.97 ph
temp 2 24.6
co.s 2 1.0209
redx 2 --
Air.

I am missing the air/humidy readings?

can this be fixed,

Hi

the problem is: SMS messages are limited to 160 characters.

Any reason why it is limited to 160 characters?
Should we not be able to get all the parameters,

It´s exactly described here (http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/technology/2009/05/invented-text-messaging.html) - and it´s a GSM standard behavior. It has nothing to do with GHL or the SMS module.

Great info thanks
Maybe the characters can be reduced. So for redox you could have Rx. For saliniy SL etc

I will check what we can do with tne next firmware update.

Thanks, that would be great.
I had a alarm today and because it was not under 160 characters i could not tell what the alarms was as it was missed in the status report.

Matthias,

Is it possible to also not show disabled probes in the text message?
I have a redox in my profilux 3, however I am not using it, I have disabled it, however it still shows in the text message when I get a report. shows redx 1 ---.

Matthias,

I just noticed in the sms control software that their is no longer a responsive time?
So when a alarm goes off you could delay being sent a sms a short period of time. so for example when a alarm is activated you could delay being send a alarm text for say 10 seconds. this stops being sent a sms when the alarm period is very small, as for example the power might go off for 2 seconds. i dont really need to be sent a sms for such short period.
This used to be a option, just noticed that it is not anymore in the profilux control

the responsive time is the time the SMS waits for an answer of ProfiLux, if the answer doesn't come in this time SMS assumes that ProfiLux is dead

this time is not needed for communication over PAB

Hi matthias,

Any update on reducing the characters so that parameters and alarms can be viewed on sms?

Eg, redox characters is reduced to RX, etc,
currently if you have a expansion box with additional probes you can not get all your parameters on sms.

reef

Any update?

reef
24.09.2011, 01:53
any update?

I run 3 ph probe , 3 redox. 3 salinity. 3 temp. 3 x top up.


When a alarm is activated i can not tell what is alarmed when i receive a SMS. I understand that SMS has limited characters,

Can this be looked at.

Can an option be added to send use concatenated SMS (also known as multipart or segmented SMS, or "long SMS).
This will allow messages longer than 160 7 bit characters. eg. first 153 characters in SMS1, then the next 153 characters in SMS2 etc as a multipart SMS.
I know that this will mean more SMS messages sent, but will allow users to receive full notification with most modern phones supporting this standard, the user will see a single long message.

Maybe GHL could give the user the option to turn on long messages if they require?

Yep, I think that would be fair enough as this thread was started in July 11.
One and a half years to this point!!

the new 3.03 BETA has just been released

-> long messages now possible (more than 160 chars)
-> level status for ProfiLux 5.13 and above adjusted
-> works with all currently available ProfiLux versions

your feedback is welcome

Thanks, great work.

When receiving say a parameter report by text we also get report of unused probes. will this still be the case ? or will unused probes be omitted?

for example i get this in the old version.

Repot
Ph1 8.16 ph
Temp 1 24.4C
Redx1 ---
ph2 ---

As you can see i dont have redx 1 and ph2 , but it still shows the unused probes.

has that been fixed so it does not show unused probes?

Matthias

to be honest I didn't think about that

Matthias can you also look to correct the problem in Email notification as i also get emails parameters with probes that are not in use.



Sensors

Temperature 1 - 27.7C
Conduct.(S) 1 - 1.0108
Redox 1 - --- no in use can it be deleted
pH-value 2 - --- no in use can it be deleted
Temperature 2 - 27.7C
