The basic idea...

"The basic idea behind open source is very simple. When programmers on the Internet can read, redistribute, and modify the source for a piece of software, it evolves. People improve it, people adapt it, people fix bugs. And this can happen at a speed that, if one is used to the slow pace of conventional software development, seems astonishing...
...The Open Source pages exist to make this case to the commercial world."    - Introduction to Open Source - www.opensource.org

* HeaterRC

market download The HeaterRC is a simple and easy-to-use application for remotely control your auxiliary heating system or any similar devices which use text messages (SMS) for their controlling.
HeaterRC allows to send a command via text message to the remote system with one single click. It is possible to send commands like start or stop as well as a temperature request command. In addition it is possible to send a timed start request.
The used text for the text messages is fully configurable and can be adapted to your remote system. The default configured text is compatible for vehicle heating systems from Ebersp?cher, but should be fine also for some other manufacturers (e.g. Webasto). Please read the instruction manual of your remote system and adapt the command configuration if necessary.
The HeaterRC application has a built-in SMS counter which can be seen by clicking on ?Menu--> Info?.

First step:
All you need to do after the first start-up of the application is to save the cellular phone number of the remote system in the Config-Tab.
