Is there any CHEAP service out there to SMS you when 2 magnets separate?

best security camera with iphone app image

Jas

I want to know if one specific door is ever opened, but have no need for a full security system. I simply need to know when, if ever, a specific door is opened without an alarm and without a camera. I want to use a system with 2 magnets that's related to an iPhone app. Anything like that out there? Again, 2 simple magnets > when they lose contact, they send a signal to a server that texts me.

Answer
I am not familiar with any service that provides this option as a service.

Here is what you can do. Get a simple alarm system.

Also get one door contact http://www.ebay.com/itm/Brand-New-Honeywell-5816-5816WMWH-Wireless-Door-Window-Transmitter-w-Magnet-/280965035728?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item416ad236d0

When you program the panel, assign your phone number in the download # section. It wont send a text but it will call you and send you a coded tone from your home phone number. You wont understand the tone but you will know that the door has been opened.

You may also want to disable the siren so opening the door is not detected locally.

If I offered you a free facebook app through which you would be able to remotely control your home computer?

and use your webcam as a security camera

would you use it? would you tell your friends to use it?

Answer
I'd be more likely to use it if it were an iPhone app. Most people do not trust Facebook apps.
