How to send a variable by SMS using SIM800L Module

Using Arduino Programming Questions

Hi guys,

I am trying to make an Energy Monitor with the consult of the values measured by GPRS.

I have developed the code below so far:

#include <Sim800l.h>
#include <SoftwareSerial.h> //is necesary for the library!! 
Sim800l Sim800l;  //to declare the library
char* text;
char* number;
bool error; //to catch the response of sendSms
int fatura=200;



String textSms, numberSms;
uint8_t index1;
uint8_t LED2 = 13; // use what you need

void setup() {

  pinMode(LED2, OUTPUT);
  digitalWrite(LED2, HIGH);

  Serial.begin(9600); // only for debug the results .
  Sim800l.begin(); // initializate the library.
  Sim800l.reset();
  //don't forget to catch the return of the function delAllSms!
  error = Sim800l.delAllSms(); //clean memory of sms;

}

void loop() {
  textSms = Sim800l.readSms(1); //read the first sms

  if (textSms.indexOf("OK") != -1) //first we need to know if the messege is correct. NOT an ERROR
  {
    if (textSms.length() > 7)  // optional you can avoid SMS empty
    {

      numberSms = Sim800l.getNumberSms(1); // Here you have the number
      //for debugin
      Serial.println(numberSms);
      textSms.toUpperCase();  // set all char to mayus ;)

      if (textSms.indexOf("Value") != -1) {
        text = "fatura"; //text for the message.
        number = "2926451386"; //change to a valid number.
        error = Sim800l.sendSms(number, text);
      }
      
      }
      else {
        Serial.println("Not Compatible ...sorry.. :D");
      }


      Sim800l.delAllSms(); //do only if the message is not empty,in other case is not necesary
      //delete all sms..so when receive a new sms always will be in first position
    }



  }
}

What I want to do is receive the value regarding the variable fatura declared in the top when I send a message to Arduino written "Value" from my mobile phone.

I think with this code programmed like the posted code, I will receive a message written "fatura". I dont want it. I want receive a message with the number 200, which is the value of the variable "fatura".

Does anybody can help me?

Replace

text = "fatura"; //text for the message.

With

char text[10];
sprintf(text,"%d", fatura);  // or itoa(fatura, text, 10 );

Thus way you build a string with the fatura value in ASCII

hi can you pls help me im a beginner in arduino and im struggling to this continuously sending an alert message to the number i put inside the code your help will be great thank you :slight_smile:

Please use code tags

Forget the sms for the time being. Get rid also if the lcd. You’ll add those in later

Can you write a code that monitors your sensors and print an alert message to the serial console when the fire is detected ?

Decide also what needs to happen once the message has been printed - I’ve not seen any requirements there
