New cell phone app: Tesla Tattler --- works on all cell phones

[zack]

lowercase gps? doesn't work at all. I get responses for LOCK and lock but not Lock (syntax error).

Without the PIN we can't unlock it. It doesn't like mixed caps/lowercase, as usually delivered by an iPhone.

Sorry Zack, I was working on it while you were texting. It should work fine now... Any number will work for the pin. try 1234. The tattler is case insensitive, so GpS works as does gpS or Gps?

Scott, I just tried the Tesla Tattler Demo on my Android. It works great. The link to Google Maps is a nice touch. Good luck with this, I look forward to a release of this app.

[QUOTE=scott451;61609]Yes. It should work with any SMS text capable phone. You can try the demo yourself. Text help to:

Unless you made it case insensitive since my post, it doesn't look like it is (this is from yesterday... I can't log on today, no response):

It gave me a response "error: syntax error" when I sent "Help". Otherwise it seems to respond okay.

Can you set it to respond only when something "happens", e.g. charge complete, charge interrupted, etc. ?

I'm not sure what's going on with it now. Here's the latest response:

That's what I get for releasing a demo at 2am... Anyway, I reverted to my old driver (which is slower to respond). It's on-line now. If too many people access the demo at the same time, some messages will get dropped. But the syntax errors should be gone...

Yes. The normal mode I run in is "monitor end". The tattler will send a start of charge message and a message when the charge stops or finishes (done). It will also send an alarm txt message if the alarm goes off. Eventually I'll add the VDS alerts to the notices the tattler sends (e.g Line frequency sync error).

Well, the message got there from GMail (what, SMS from something without a physical keyboard? Ha! , but after a couple of syntax errors it stopped responding. I'm not sure what number GMail shows up as (probably my Voice number).

Can you get rid of the signature when you send SMS? [Edit: never mind, I fixed it... If the last line is a syntax error, I now ignore it. Your command was parsed, but the syntax error message over wrote your result. Try it again and it should work]

Here's what I got:
MAIN: From: "14xxxxxx325"
[GPS?
- sxxxx.xxxr@xxxxx.com
]
GPRS: trying to send AT+CMGS="+14xxxxxx325"

***SEND RESPONSE
error: syntax error

+CMGS: 206

OK
