I would like to setup a fairly simple home security system. Can your software activate an alarm and send an email if a sensor is tripped? Can the security system be armed and disarmed from the Android and iPhone apps? Thanks

Yes, you can use InControl to do all that. I've got a FortrezZ siren and I'm able able to turn it on/off based on the state of my system. I use a Scene to "Arm" and another to "Disarm." The scene activates a virtual device that is used to trigger when the motion sensors should trip the siren.

I can provide more details if needed, just let me know.

Thanks. Please send some info on how the software will notify me of a trip by phone.

You can find out your SMS "email address" and set InControl up to email you the message. The email will be converted to a text message that will ping your phone. You'll use a script in the scene pre/post area to send the email when the scene is triggered by the motion sensors.
