Remote control of heating equipment is carried out via a GSM channel - via cellular networks. For this, GSM-modules with sensors connected to them are used. Their features and benefits:

  • Ability to manage from anywhere in the world;
  • Remote control of the home microclimate;
  • Opportunity to save on utilities;
  • Additional control of safety sensors.

GSM modules for remote control control boilers use networks of cellular operators for their work. This opens up the possibility of controlling heating equipment from anywhere where there is access to cellular networks and mobile Internet. They work not only with boilers, but also with additional equipment, which allows you to control several heating circuits from anywhere. A couple of actions in the smartphone - and by the time the household arrives, the house will have a comfortable temperature.

For the operation of GSM-modules are used temperature sensors. They monitor indoor and outdoor temperatures by sending data to control thermostats. The connection is made by wire or by radio. In addition to temperature sensors, security sensors (movement and door openings), gas leakage sensors, water leakage control sensors and acoustic glass breakage sensors can be connected to GSM modules. All this provides control over the climate and safety of housing.

GSM modules manage heating boilers according to the principle of room thermostats. They turn the burner on and off, which leads to heating and cooling of the coolant. It is also possible to control valves responsible for supplying hot coolant to additional circuits. Thus, control is exercised over several zones at the same time - this is true for large private households and country cottages.

The use of GSM modules for remote control allows you to save on gas and electricity consumption. During the daytime, the room temperature can be lowered, which helps to reduce energy consumption. Toward evening, the temperature in the rooms rises, by the arrival of the household. A similar climate control system is used in office and industrial premises.

You can buy GSM modules for controlling heating boilers in the Teplodvor online store. In addition to them, wired and wireless temperature sensors, outdoor thermometers, security sensors, power supplies, radio key fobs, smoke sensors and much more are on sale. We will deliver equipment for remote control of heating and climate control anywhere in Moscow and Russia.

GSM/GPS modules for car alarms promptly notify the owner vehicle about its unauthorized use, start, stop or blocking of the power unit, as well as remote performance of service functions. The devices are universal, they can be installed on all brands of cars. Some systems are powered from the on-board network or others from the built-in power supply.

Informing the driver can be carried out by sending SMS or voice messages to pre-specified phone numbers of different mobile operators. Alarm control is performed remotely by means of telephones using a radio channel of a cellular network. Only when commands are given from specific phone numbers will they be accepted.

Status diagnostics can be carried out thanks to the signal of the LED lamp. Advanced car alarms adapted for autonomous operation. To connect them, it is enough to connect the devices to the on-board electrical network.

Some Models GSM/GPS modules for car alarms have energy-saving modes to increase the lifespan. So, for example, in standby mode, the integrated battery will consume electricity only when a SIM card is present. And in the event of a power outage, the system will be able to function for several days.

Thanks to the use of GSM / GPS modules, it is possible to create effective security and telematic systems, which are usually connected via the CAN bus. Unlike conventional car alarms, devices of this type give a signal to the owner, regardless of the distance to him. The main thing is to have GSM coverage.

Main functions

Most GSM / GPS modules for car alarms perform the following functions:

    • Connection via 2CAN bus
    • Ability to operate in Slave mode
    • Remote control of engine preheaters
    • Controlling the standard car alarm with your phone
    • Immobilizer bypass module control
    • Possibility of automatic and remote start of the motor
    • Obtaining data on the coordinates of the location of the car

Modern systems allow you to determine the location of the vehicle with an accuracy of several meters. This is the purpose of the GPS receiver. After sending the request, the phone device receives a text message with the coordinates of the location of the vehicle. Even in the event of theft, the owner of the car will be able to quickly find it or find out where a member of his family or another driver who is driving the car is now.

Modern modules can process over fifty commands, they can also be programmed. Several phone numbers can be stored in the SIM card memory, messages will be sent to them. Thanks to the module, you can find out why the alarm went off. Was it the reason for this opened door, starting the engine, triggering a shock sensor, disabling the parking brake, etc.

Branded GSM/GPS modules will greatly increase the protection of the car and the convenience of its operation. Thanks to them, vehicle owners will always know where their four-wheeled friend is and what condition its main systems are in.

The emergence and widespread use of wireless GSM communication led to a massive transition, first in automobiles, and a little later in home, garage and country security alarms, from a siren to a full-fledged remote control system for the security loop. Especially things accelerated after the reduction of communication tariffs and cheaper GSM modules. In some cases, for example, for a garage or a summer house, it is practically impossible to build an effective alarm system with the ability to instantly receive a signal about an opening.

Advantages and disadvantages of signaling for giving based on a GSM module

The development of mobile communication technologies has made it possible to obtain a very compact and economical device in the form of a GSM communication module with a control unit and a sensor system. Ideally, a wireless alarm provides the following features:

  • Notify the owners of the cottage about the operation of one of the sensors. In some models, the alarm system sends a signal with a specific code that allows you to judge the causes of the alarm;
  • Arm, remove and check the current state of the alarm using Push-messages, listen to the sounds inside the cottage;
  • Control the numbers and sequence of sending SMS information about the triggering of the alarm element;
  • Take pictures and send the frame to the programmed address;
  • Manage powerful electrical appliances using commands from your mobile phone. You can turn on / off watering, heating, ventilation, any of the devices connected to the power module.

Note! The first three functions are endowed with everything, even the most budgetary alarm models with a GSM module, the presence of more complex functions is determined by the characteristics of a particular system for giving.

In the first alarm models, manufacturers tried to combine the functions of autonomous and wireless alarm. That is, when triggered, the system turned on the siren and sent a message to the mobile phone. But in practice, it turned out that the soundtrack often interferes with the capture of a thief in the country, so newer versions have a function to turn off the howler.

A dacha outside the city may be located in a “blind” zone or in an area with poor GSM signal reception, so there is a certain risk of losing control of the alarm system. In some cases, an external antenna is installed, but this only pushes criminals to illegal actions in the country.

In addition, not all GSM modules are equally well tolerated "work" in the country at low temperatures or extreme heat. Batteries remain the most vulnerable, which must be regularly charged and insulated in the cottage.

The most interesting alarm models for giving

In addition to the general functions listed above, many models have their own interesting specific features, the presence of which makes them most suitable for use in the country.

GSM alarm system "Sentry" for giving

The development of the IPro company is well known thanks to good quality elaboration of the alarm logic. To the above features of "Sentry 4" you can add several specific functions, especially suitable for use in the country:

  1. The ability to control several powerful electrical appliances, such as an irrigation pump or a ventilation system.
  2. The function of connecting and de-energizing the power supply on garden plot. This option becomes especially valuable in case of strong winds or problems with electricity in the cottage.
  3. The ability to simulate the presence of the owners in the cottage. According to the programmed sequence, the light can be turned on and off in the rooms, in the yard or at the entrance to the room.

In addition, the GSM alarm system can issue four types of text messages to the mobile phone about the operation of a certain type of sensor of the security module. If necessary, you can remotely turn on the microphone and listen to the situation in the cottage.

Alarm system with GSM "Dacha 01"

"TAVR Dacha", models 01 and 02, are deservedly considered one of the leading in the line of domestic and foreign alarm systems. And it must be admitted that such an assessment corresponds to the capabilities and functions of an alarm system with a GSM module.

Firstly, the most significant advantage, in comparison with other models for giving, can be called the two-module layout "TAVR Dacha". This means that the control unit with the processor and sensors is made in the form of a separate panel, which is necessarily located inside the cottage. The GSM signal receiving and transmitting module is made in the form of a separate self-powered box, which allows you to separate both units at a distance exceeding 200 m.

In fact, such a layout principle of "TAVR Dacha" makes it possible to solve most of the problems with "shadowing" and signal jamming, which are so feared by most users of wireless alarms with a GSM module.

Secondly, setting and access to service and programmable functions is possible only with the use of special magnetic key fobs. They are also used to remove or turn on the alarm in working condition. This means that any unauthorized persons who got into the summer cottage where the control panel is located, or even intruders who entered by hacking, will not be able to change the settings of the wireless alarm with the GSM module.

Thirdly, the autonomous alarm system GSM "TAVR" Dacha is designed for very economical consumption of electricity, the average duration of operation from four finger elements, according to the manufacturer, should be at least one year. Truly economical is very important when protecting remote objects to which there is no constant and regular access.

Note! To ensure the operation of the "Sentry" by the manufacturer, it is recommended to use an acid battery.

Most sensors are located inside the control panel housing, so certain requirements must be met when installing an alarm. Do not hang the panel on a heated or supercooled surface or on a wall with high level vibrations. This, first of all, negatively affects the condition of batteries and electronic components, which are not designed for condensation.

In addition, the GSM model "Dacha 01" and 02 allows you to perform a fairly serious current temperature control. When the air temperature in the room is more than sixty degrees, the module generates and sends a message about a critical situation.

GSM alarm system "Guardian"

If your dacha is a full-fledged Vacation home with a large area large quantity objects capable of being of interest to the criminal element, a more powerful and sophisticated alarm system will be required.

The most correct solution would be to install additional video or cameras that record events in the protected area in real time. In this case, you can install a full-fledged security complex or limit yourself to installing the Sentinel GSM alarm module.

The Sentinel's capabilities greatly exceed previous models. For example, the Guardian S200 MMS option is able to work simultaneously with 16 wireless motion sensors and take up to 20 high-quality photos. At the same time, a series of images can be received on a mobile phone and the degree of threat can be determined without leaving the site.

With proper use of the camera, you can monitor the situation in a very dense area control mode. In some cases, this method allows you to identify signs of an impending threat long before it appears in the country. For example, to fix transport or persons of a marginal type.

A wireless alarm is well suited for most cottages, but on condition that a stable power supply is available in the room for a full day. Otherwise, the module will bombard you with emergency messages and switch to the economy mode. With a complete blackout, the device will be able to work on a regular battery of 1000 mAh for no more than 8 hours.

This type of GSM signaling deserves close attention due to its high resistance to information load. Most of the events on arming and disarming the alarm, making changes to the program, and the emergence of threats are duplicated by the Guard microprocessor by text messages to several addresses, including e-mails.

The issue of protecting your vehicle from theft and vandalism is always relevant. In the recent past, all possible devices (mechanical interlocks) and alarm simulators (“tweeters”) were used. Modern system protection is a more advanced product that can not only provide a high degree of security, but also allow the owner to "always keep abreast."

GSM alarm system for a car (wired, wireless) does an excellent job with both the first and the second task (it protects the car and notifies about everything).

Design features

The set of elements responsible for the possibility of using a mobile phone as a link between the gsm car alarm and the owner of the vehicle (regardless of the chosen operator and tariff) includes three main components, namely:

  1. GSM module. In this case, it plays the role of a transmitting device, limited not by the cellular tariff, but by the coverage area of ​​the operator. This device (gsm alarm module) allows you to receive information about changes in the state of your car directly to your own mobile communication device. It can also send an alarm signal to the security console (if the security company was initially responsible for the safety of the car and the system was connected to its dispatch console). An alarm system with a gsm module can be linked to several phone numbers, which will receive SMS alerts or alarm calls (different tariffs are not a problem).
  2. GSM controller. This device is designed to monitor the operation of the communication channel between the owner and his movable property, the Gsm controller is also responsible for providing information regarding the state of the system, allows you to eliminate errors in the operation of control and information SMS, and develop effective control scenarios. Their simplest variants are made on the basis of software released under the Arduino brand. It is quite possible to make simple devices on andruino on your own (more on this below).
  3. Digital relays. They are recognized to provide additional protection.

Accepted classification


Modern car alarms, which necessarily include a gsm module, a set of digital relays (sensors) and a gsm controller, are conditionally divided into several groups, depending on the criterion adopted as a basis, in particular:

  1. Way of informing. The GSM alarm can notify the owner of the car about a theft attempt in one of three possible ways:
    • via SMS alerts(only sms notifications are received on the phone);
    • via a call (they work on the principle of auto-dial, the tariff does not matter);
    • combined option(information is conveyed to the owner simultaneously via SMS and via a call).
  2. System Power Method. There are two variations on the theme, namely:
    • Gsm alarm wired(works from a source of 12 V, the interaction of the elements of the system is achieved thanks to the connecting wires);
    • gsm alarm system wireless(works at the expense of an independent power supply, harmonious work security complex of this type is the result of using the properties of a stable radio signal).
  3. Price range. The car enthusiast has three options:
    • economy class (alarm system with auto start and with a set of other regular modes +
      gsm controller and module);
    • middle class (alarm system with autostart, regular content and additional modes + gsm controller and module + simplest GPS system);
    • premium class (wireless multifunctional alarm + GSM, GPS + additional features, for example, with video surveillance).
      In addition to the above groups, GSM alarms can also be assigned to others: depending on the manufacturer (domestic firms, foreign manufacturers, including Chinese, American and others) and brands (Pandora, Starline, Tomahawk and others).

Top: Top 5


A variety of security products are offered to the buyer to choose from. Worthy enough. Thus, the tomahawk 9020 alarm system (detailed operating instructions, installation and programming is simple, the set of options is optimal), is good for everyone, but has one drawback: the lack of a GSM module. Fortunately, the car enthusiast has a chance to find no less attractive anti-theft protection, devoid of this flaw. Everything is available: gsm alarm system with a video camera, with the ability to control the amount of fuel in the tank and the speed of movement.

So, the top 5 best GSM alarms in 2016:

  • (made in South Korea, it is unique in that it can protect and control the condition of several cars at once, the tariff for mobile communications will not change from this fact);
  • Pandora Deluxe 3700 (made in Russia, consistently ranked among the top five sellers);
  • Starline B94 (made in Russia, its proprietary mobile application can be safely called one of the most intuitive interfaces);
  • Pandora 500 PRO (made in Russia, another always in demand product released by Alarm-Trade based on high-tech developments);
  • Magnum МН-880-03 (made in Ukraine, excellent option, with one caveat: this model does not provide a GPS module and autorun mode, but their additional installation and configuration will quickly solve the problem).

In fact, it all depends on the desires and capabilities of the car owner (what he wants: a car alarm with a camera, with or without autorun mode; what he can afford: economy, business or VIP class).

Do it yourself

Is it possible to design a gsm alarm by yourself? This event cannot be called an hourly work, but it is possible to implement the idea in a day, subject to the availability of the necessary elements (phone, toggle switch, board on the arduino platform, other components).

A board with an arduino controller, subject to an order from China, will please you with a price, by writing it out with aliexpress, you may not notice your costs at all (by the way, on the same resource you can find more budget analogs of arduino, and mobile devices that you can buy for a penny).

For consideration by a motorist one is very interesting option, the step-by-step implementation of which is presented below. The assembly and installation of such useful functionality as a do-it-yourself Gsm alarm is quite real. The main thing is to clearly adhere to the following algorithm of actions:

  1. Placement of system elements. Ideally, everything should be like this:
    • the main unit (arduino controller) and a toggle switch under the instrument panel;
    • sensors (magnets) on doors, hood, trunk;
    • the control unit (telephone) away from the radio and antenna.
  2. Power off. We remove the terminals from the battery.
  3. Connecting components. We connect the sensors to the controller, the controller to the phone, we cut the toggle switch into the power circuit (now, when the “to minus” is closed, this circuit will start working).
  4. Binding to a phone number. We enter our phone into the phone's memory and connect the wire connecting with the main unit to the button selected as the "speed dial".
  5. Connecting to the onboard network. We return the battery terminals to their original place (25 seconds after turning on the toggle switch, the car will arm, during this time you need to get out of the car, such an alarm is also turned off by switching the toggle switch).

Summarizing the above...


Summing up, we can draw the following important conclusions:

  1. Convenient and secure.
    GSM alarms are really convenient and reliable (it is unrealistic to miss alarms - the phone is always at hand, you can respond to an SMS or a call at any time - the phone is already in hand);
  2. Simple and difficult.
    Just for the car owner. This is the merit of affordable installation, and a simple setup algorithm, and comfortable control, control over the system (fortunately, detailed instructions are included in the package for it).
    Difficult for an attacker. He has practically no chances for the success of the planned event (quick response, no less prompt notification of the vehicle owner, do not contribute to the fulfillment of the hijacker's plans);
  3. Expensive or cheap.

The choice is up to the car enthusiast. He can become a happy owner of a ready-to-use GSM alarm system belonging to the group of one of price categories(economy, business, premium) or prefer self-assembly protective system. It's not the price that matters, it's the end result.

What does a car owner need? Only peace of mind for the safety of your car. GSM alarm can give him confidence in the future. She is 110% doing her job!
