For 750 euro's (a deep price i know) you can have a complete sms functionality. You can use this then to send all kinds of information from your domotica system if your not in your house.

Ofcourse an old phone with gammu is cheaper, but more labor intense.

right its a lot of money, but nice features.
It has incoming and outgoing SMS functionality a webserver with mysql lite server etc.

Up to 30 incoming SMS/min with a common SIM card
100% solid state in just 105x110x45mm

SQLite embedded SQL server

BIS Module for failover, using 2 appliances for backup. Useful on mission critical environments.

Also I think SMS for home automation is a bit outdated when you can use mail with attachments, internet on the phones etc

Well i use my gammu setup to send me a sms if there is a speedcam on the highway. I read the messages from www.flitsservice.nl and does a check on my highways.

And yes its a bit outdated but still fun, then again an sms saying "your house is on fire" would make a nice memory..

Well you can water your plants with your home automation, maybe you can send a sms to turn on the sprinklers
