Does anyone have experience of using mobile signal / text message for controlling a water pump.? Any good suppliers for this type of kit?

I've used a GSM switch/ plug that I use to reset a router, all you do is call the number and it either switches on or off, Just make sure you either purchase a roaming sim card https://www.ultrasecuredirect.com/u...s/roaming-m2m-sim-card-12-010-0810-p1127.html , Or make sure you take the sim card out and phone a number for a minute or so to keep the sim active
The switch only allows certain numbers to call it, preventing bot dialers switching the item on or off. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/EU-plug-C...617751?hash=item419ae5add7:g:vqUAAOSwu4BVyv1W

Yes it would, but the pipe is about 50 years old and we don't want to put more pressure up it than necessary. Replacing it would not be easy. 2 road crossings, land now sold to townies for pony paddocks etc
