scorpion 0 Posted July 12, 2009 Is there a demand for a remote power off device via remote telephone, or cellphone? I would have to order 300 units. This device plugs in the the power socket, and a telephone line. It would retail for about $115.00 US. You call via a telephone, and you can control the device. You can reset routers, and computers, and other devices by remote. There is also a device that can receive cellphone sms, and this can control the power device. This device would cost about $300.00 retail US. Both together sound interesting, but I do not see any demand for it. What do you all think? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soundy 1 Posted July 13, 2009 I can think of several uses for either of those... unfortunately I don't know if I can justify it. But I'll run it past the powers that be, see if we might be interested in picking up a few. Question about this SMS device, I assume it requires some sort of basic cell plan? Are they limited to one technology (GSM or CDMA)? What would actually be more useful would be a networked version of this, something I could VNC or even just telnet into to give a reset command. Most places don't have a "spare" line available for dial-in access, and adding another phone line is a lot more cost-prohibitive in most cases than simply plugging into an existing network.

rory 0 Posted July 13, 2009 i like the telco feature, everyone has a telephone, more reliable than internet. But i dont think there is much call for it, maybe sell one or two a week .. look to target security companies .. like alarm monitoring companines, installers, etc. Ive seen these before though, been around for years.
