Remote GSM Switch

Turn stuff on the boat - heater, fridge etc - on or off using a mobile phone call.

Well, I can think of a few folk that might not be able to resist ....

Cool toy....

Who will you get to wire it in, Tony?

 

[No Regrets]

Another version at Homebase for half that!

I already have the remote switches all over the house.

Nah....... he will do it himself...............then find somebody else to get it working

Who will explain that "wireless" means that you don't plug one end in?

You really can't let it go, can you?

I have no intention of meddling with such miscellanea - I just thought it might be of mild interest. Trust N-R to 'fess up to already being knee deep in the things - but then you'd expect him to need to be able to turn things on remotely, once he gets close enough for them to see him he's dead in the water ........

Realy??? A remote GSM switch? One that you can activate with a phone call from anywhere on the plannet?

Don't expect accurate commentary from No_Regrets - he's a bloody journalist now so no point letting facts get in the way!

In 1904 when that company was founded my family was probably herding goats in the hills and mountains of Smyrnia.

 

[No Regrets]

As long as they were only herding them, no problem.

Byron also make doorbells! (Press the button and instead of ringing, they say 'Back in 1965 I was a good friend of....blah blah...LOL)

I joke of course sir....(Might be passing Ashmount in Summer...)

[No Regrets]

Quite a thought!

Send a text 'Bang' and watch the news....

i thought of sticking on in the boat, with a 2KW heater, so when we go down on a cold day, it's warm and toasty inside! The list is endless really...
