AlarmSMS Controller is not locked to one alarm brand. You can add your alarm phone number, create your own SMS commands, choose icons and colors, and organize everything in one easy-to-use interface. Main features: • Control compatible GSM alarm systems by SMS • Create custom arm, disarm, stay, status, siren, and zone commands • Add multiple alarm profiles • Save alarm phone numbers and command presets • Choose icons and colors for each command • Organize your most used security commands • Works with many GSM alarm panels that accept SMS commands • Backup and restore your setup • No account required • Data stored locally on your device Perfect for users who already have a GSM alarm panel and want a faster, cleaner way to send SMS control commands without remembering command codes manually.
