Re: [Announce] SMScon (control your device with SMS)

How easy is this? Can I backup my applications before I help you test it? What apps do I have to have pre-installed? I don't code, I like tech but I dunno how to use the X terminal etc. so do I need to know how to?

Re: [Announce] SMScon (control your device with SMS)

i myself am very much a beginner in Xterminal, i know my way around some codes, but not allot.

I somehow can't get it to work while i've done everything that i'm supposed to do...

to give you a simple guide, all you have to do is type these codes in xterminal. Make sure you've installed Rootsh (from the cataloges in the app manager

Open Xterminal and type:

Code:

root

apt-get install maemo-python-device-env

apt-get install python-location 

apt-get install pexpect

apt-get install ncftp (cli ftp client)

apt-get install gstreamer-tools 

apt-get install openssh

close xterminal

open smscon_daemon (from where you downloaded it to) with "notes"

and edit these lines into the appropriate lines

Code:

RemoteHost = 'XXXXXXXXXXXXX'   # remote server address

RemotePort = 22   # remote server port

RemotePath = '/XXXXXXXXXXXX'  # remote server ftp path

RemoteUser = 'XXXXXXXXXXXXX'   # remote user

RemotePassword = 'XXXXXXXXXXXXX' # remote password

after this save the file and close "notes"

now move both the files to N900/newfolder (create the newfolder if you don't have it yet)

open Xterminal: note some letters are Capitals!

Code:

sudo gainroot

cd /home/user/MyDocs

cp /home/user/MyDocs/newfolder/* /usr/bin

close Xterminal

open Xterminal again:

Code:

root

cd /usr/bin

chmod 755 smscon

chmod 755 smscon_daemon

after that smscon should work.

you can run smscon by opening Xterminal:

Code:

root

smscon -start

for other commands use this code:

Code:

root

smscon -help

use your up arrow to get the last input you entered in Xterminal, and change it if it's easier than retyping the whole code.

Good luck, however somehow my phone doesn't recognise python :( hope yours does.

Re: [Announce] SMScon (control your device with SMS)

Has anyone tried to build this stuff on top of IAMHERE instead of starting from scratch? We had this in the works for a while but it was basically abandoned.

http://wiki.maemo.org/I_am_here

it could be idea to combine these projects

just a thought

Re: [Announce] SMScon (control your device with SMS)

@ AlexV12:

It's smscon -help (no space between minus and command)

I am currently rewriting the code, so new version is comming soon.

It would have been a great idea, as Iamhere worked perfect including sending an email with the frontcam image etc. too bad it got abandoned

Re: [Announce] SMScon (control your device with SMS)

I like to implement email sending of frontcam picture (is a beter idea, easier) but at the moment I don't know how. I.m trying to find out.

I check if the connection is active (before ftping) by checking if my website can be reached. Why? I could use a simple ping to my IP address (server), but the ping is not always passed through GPRS or LAN networks with a strict firewall. Port 80 (website) is always passed, so smscon only works if a website is available on the server to connect to. I will look in to it; maybe I change this to a ping again with a fallback to website checking.

Does anybody know how I can compose & send a email by cli.
Python smtplib doesn't work either.

Yes, it can check website. But what when my site have adress http://asgarmy.ovh.org and to send to it any file i must log to ftp - ftp.60free.ovh.org ?
I can't send throw ftp.asgarmy.ovh.org.
So i can't use it script becouse when i type in remotehost asgarmy.ovh.org smscon don't send anything.
When i type ftp adress (ftp.60free.ovh.org) in remote host the
function def StatusRemoteHost(): check this adress and send my error, becouse on this adress (ftp.60free.ovh.org) aren't any site. It is only ftp.
I think you now know what is my problem...
So can you help me now? :D

Mabye this link can help You:

2010-08-25 21:21

Re: [Announce] SMScon (control your device with SMS)

I have changed the StatusRemoteHost() to use the ping command, then it would work for you. (is much better solution)

Smtplib in Python can indeed send emails, I will implement this in favor of ftp sending of frontcam picture.

In a couple of days I will post a new version of smscon...

Re: [Announce] SMScon (control your device with SMS)

Just came back.

The SMS messages work nice.

Here are the error messages from your log when i sent 'Camera'

Code:

(Sat Aug 28 23:34:59 2010) DAEMON: camera picture acquired

(Sat Aug 28 23:35:00 2010) DAEMON: current network (WLAN) disconnected

ERROR:dbus.connection:Exception in handler for D-Bus signal:

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.5/dbus/connection.py", line 214, in maybe_handle_message

    self._handler(*args, **kwargs)

  File "/usr/bin/smscon_daemon", line 221, in SMSreceive

    ExecuteCommand(Message, Number) # execute valid sms command

  File "/usr/bin/smscon_daemon", line 290, in ExecuteCommand

    EnableCamera()

  File "/usr/bin/smscon_daemon", line 319, in EnableCamera

    EnableConnection('GPRS')

  File "/usr/bin/smscon_daemon", line 390, in EnableConnection

    IAPid = E.findall(Output)[0].replace('@32@', ' ')

ndexError: list index out of range

I think it disconnected the working wlan connection it had already and tried to connect to gprs and failed. Btw, i have a gprs connection already defined in my internet connections which is working when i'm away from available wlan.

hope it helps

edit: using version 2.1

Code:

Nokia-N900:~# gconftool -R /system/osso/connectivity/IAP | grep "/system/osso/connectivity/IAP/" | grep GPRS

Should be like this:

Re: [Announce] SMScon (control your device with SMS)

maybe I've missed it, but have you implemented some sort of pwd checking for the incoming sms? "friends" rebooting your device after they know they can can be quite annoying
2nd: can you setup a "play ringtone" funct? in case you lost it in your car..
thank you for the great idea, I will wait 'till on extras-devel.

Re: [Announce] SMScon (control your device with SMS)

Hi digitalvoid,
Something for you to consider;

You can send the gps coordinates in a click-able google maps URL.
eg: http://maps.google.com/maps?q=52.350693,4.800796

Saturn

2010-08-29 11:26

Re: [Announce] SMScon (control your device with SMS)

Hi digitalvoid,

One more case for you :)
Haven't checked the code but i get the impression that you are doing some kind of averaging from the last 4 coordinates.

IMHO, you should choose the one with the best accuracy instead.

Here is an example of how the best location guess has not been given back but instead one with 50km error. (the effect might be also augmented as I am traveling at the moment and the first lock is way out in accuracy but I think is a good example to show the issue).

Code:

(Sat Aug 28 23:40:39 2010) DAEMON: starting GPS device

(Sat Aug 28 23:40:39 2010) DAEMON: waiting for accurate GPS lock

(Sat Aug 28 23:40:41 2010) DAEMON: waiting for accurate GPS lock

(Sat Aug 28 23:40:42 2010) DAEMON: waiting for accurate GPS lock

(Sat Aug 28 23:40:44 2010) DAEMON: waiting for accurate GPS lock

(Sat Aug 28 23:41:15 2010) DAEMON: waiting for accurate GPS lock

(Sat Aug 28 23:41:31 2010) DAEMON: start collecting multiple GPS coordinates

(Sat Aug 28 23:41:31 2010) DAEMON: GPS coordinate acquired (#1, 51.8 sec, 46.500000, 8.200000, 200000.0 meter)

(Sat Aug 28 23:41:32 2010) DAEMON: GPS coordinate acquired (#2, 52.9 sec, 46.209886, 6.139363, 3034.8 meter)

(Sat Aug 28 23:41:35 2010) DAEMON: GPS coordinate acquired (#3, 56.5 sec, 46.209886, 6.139363, 3034.8 meter)

(Sat Aug 28 23:41:36 2010) DAEMON: GPS coordinate acquired (#4, 57.0 sec, 46.209886, 6.139363, 3034.8 meter)

(Sat Aug 28 23:41:36 2010) DAEMON: accurate GPS coordinate calculated (46.282414, 6.654522, 52276.1, 57.0)

Re: [Announce] SMScon (control your device with SMS)

@ Saturn:

This is true, It's averaging, but I think I will change this to your idea ('best accuracy out of 4'). This is more logical. It will also be a user setting in config file.

About the '/system/osso/connectivity/IAP/Web@32@Vodafone:' issue;
I have rewritten this part (bit of a hack) and I should work now for you and also others.

About your 'click-able google maps URL' idea, I like it. I will implement this. (send it with sms and/or email)

@ knypek3:

I have no idea why it's not working; it could be port or firwall related or the way your smtp server is authenticating (more likely). I will look into it.

2010-08-29 14:58

Re: [Announce] SMScon (control your device with SMS)

How about adding a 'send a test mail' option in the smscon?

It would help testing if settings have been entered correctly in the config file easier.

digitalvoid

2010-08-29 15:54

Re: [Announce] SMScon (control your device with SMS)

@ Saturn:

Already there :), use:

Code:

smscon -stop (if it was running)

smscon -test email

Could please you give me the result of this:

Code:

gconftool -R /system/osso/connectivity/IAP | grep " name = "

I want to verify something for my code.

@ knypek3:

I will look if I can make it auto detect the authentication, but you can use another smtp server without secure authentication.

2010-08-29 20:57

Re: [Announce] SMScon (control your device with SMS)

when i type test email the connection don't end so, or it connecting or i don't know why. I have my email server. I try with and without auth. Nothing happen. with and without i have error :(
i try gconf.
it send me:
name = linksys
name = Moja_siec
name = Plus gsm internet gprs

Re: [Announce] SMScon (control your device with SMS)

New code coming soon.

PS: The secure smtp authentication will not be fix in this code. I have to examine this further...

I have made a deb file (yeah!) with PyPackager, but I have some trouble with the dependancy files (they won't automatically install). If the dependancy files are already on the device it will install fine. Some option I missed?

Code:

p.author = 'Digitalvoid'

p.maintainer = 'Digitalvoid'

p.email = xxxx@xxxxxxxx.nl'

p.depends = 'maemo-python-device-env, python-location, pexpect, openssh'

p.section = 'user/utilities'

p.arch = 'armel'                     

p.urgency = 'low'

Re: [Announce] SMScon (control your device with SMS)

what happens if i change the code:

Code:

Comlist                                                          = ['location'

]

and all of the other comlist codes to a different word.

say for example, i'd want to change the smstrigger: 'location' to 'where are you'

as that wouldn't trigger the thiefs attention so much when you send a tekstmessage with "where are you"

Hi,

install leafpad from the application manager
Open xterm
type:
root
leafpad /usr/bin/smscon_config

You are ready to edit & save.

Hope it helps.

OK, thanks. I send You a priv.
Can you write a func when sms with command example "ssh" arrived
n900 connect to gprs and send to xterm command
"ssh -p 22 user-name@IP -R 1201:localhost:22" ??

But this command should be mod, to can manualy type IP and password.

It work's great and give a full control anywhere your n900 is.
