tar.gz only debian and src7(?)

Hey folks, just tried this...looks great. It is possible that the 0.59 version only sends the test email from the editor gui? I can receive only these it seems, while I've tried both location and picture tests...the smscon -log shows no error, btw.

Thanks!

People most likelly already asked for this before, consider it my "+1"

Could you please add a parallel (and optionally alternate) mode of communication using email (prefferably compatible with gmail), with options to try gprs as well as looking for open (and closed but with known password) WiFi connections? This way even with a SIM with no credits or even without any SIM at all, we can still reach our precious

smscon is not working for me.

Code:

/home/user # smscon -start
/bin/sh: smscon: not found
/home/user # /opt/smscon/smscon -start
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/opt/smscon/smscon", line 14, in <module>
    from Crypto.Cipher import AES
ImportError: No module named Crypto.Cipher

How did you install. Did you use dpkg directly or you have use the application manager?

Could you please elaborate a little bit more?
The replies already can be send to a gmail address if you choose that.
See the wiki for the options available if you haven't already.

I mean sending commands to the device by email, just like how it can be done via SMS

edit: ideally it should have it's own email system, somthing that doesn't show in the regular email program nor triggers the new message notification behavior (sound, status LED etc)

OK, it is now clear to me now what you meant. Thanks.

In my opinion it is equal and less consuming of resources to what has already been proposed. That is, check at some intervals a site (e.g. a blog) for a specific change in a page that the user specified and is under his control.

I think it is a feature which we should try to pursuit separately first and later integrate to SMSCON, but it is up to digitalvoid.
