No not at all as the profiLux needs to be "interogated"

There is no physical way to get your PC to send a text with the profiLux data encrypted.

It can send Email yes but your PC has to be on, and the whole point of this unit is for fast easy access without anything being left on with mains supply. If you have a UPS and the pc and the ProfiLux is connected to it and your pc has not gone into sleep mode, then yes you will get the email. But the whole concept is to keep things simple.

The other thing not everyone has email phones, but everyone has text.

Example your house has a power cut, the ProfiLux cant send you an email as your pc has dumped itself all over the floor with the power cut

BUT

With the SMS and its battery back up you will get an alarm within a few seconds to your cell phone

Thats a trick i would love to see

get an email to your phone from the profiLux during a power cut with your pc shut down and the Profilux off?

Sorry the ProfiLux email relies on the PC being on.

The SMS module has been developed to safe guard all scenarios within reason. And as i said not everyone wishes to have their PC on 24/7 espcially when away and not everyone has email phones (yet).

So as you can see, other than just being a COOL gadget this great new tool really helps in the management of your system

Now you have two options

Email alert - with restrictions of what is left running at home
OR
SMS alert and messaging - With little restrictions.

Wow that's hella cool.

Does GHL plan for an iPhone app that allows control of the system? This feature already looks cool tho. Can it just send you your system details a few times a day even if all is well?

Also, can the profilux spit data out to a webpage like the Aquacontroller?

i apps are quite involved so i do not see this in the ear future

Yes it can send you status messages when ever you want up to 20 times a day, it is not just for alarms.

GHL are working on something a lot more sophisticated than what is available elsewhere and will be part of the PIII which of course will roll down to the PII users that do not wish the upgrade.

Can this email be scheduled/automated?

Sorry I know these were not SMS questions, I'm considering getting a Profilux controller and was wondering what email capabilities come without the SMS option. Although, the SMS features seem really cool, they may not be in the budget for the initial purchase.
