Instead of typing the same SMS commands every time, you can create clean command buttons for your alarm system and use them whenever you need to arm, disarm, check status, activate stay mode, control siren functions, manage zones, or send any custom command supported by your GSM alarm panel. 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.
