remote monitoring device that can send texts/emails/etc

jtdiesel65

Does anybody know of a product capable of sending alerts via text or email?

I currently have a combox (ags, xw4024) and midnite solar CCs. I can bring up those interfaces, but it would be nice to have something that can provide an alert on low voltage or whatever.

thx

There are a lot of single board computers out there that are pretty cheap... How much programming do you want to do--Or just get something "off the shelf" or find person to do the programming/configuration for you?

combox does this already ! What is your issue?

 Even though it is much easier on the gateway,  which is the replacement and 10 years more up to date !

Where are those settings? All I have on mine are settings to send a email report on some time interval. I'm looking for something that sends an email if "voltage drops to 23v" or "generator started" for example.

I'd like something off the shelf if possible. Maybe the newer gateway would do it, but it doesn't look like it's compatible with the xw-4024. Looks like you need an xw+.

Gateway is compatible with xw 4024 BTW. It will have settings and be missing some things from the 2nd generation XW+ and the current XWpro. Most all of it does not mean much to offgrid apps. 

Maybe someone else can help with combox settings. I stopped using it 2 years back and I have a bunch of stuff on my tiny plate.
I use to do what you want for clients with warnings. You can use combox on Insight the cloud app and the old phone app for tablets is still on the discontinued XW section on Schneider.
