Can someone please help get me pointed in the right direction? I have the units wired. Thanks
You need to supply a bit more detail if you want some help with this.
What sensors are you using to "trip" the alarm?
What code do you already have?
How do you want to talk to the phone?
etc
I would use 2 outputs from my home alarm system (http://www.homesecuritystore.com/alarm-systems/wireless-alarm-systems/dsc-kit495-17cp01?) 1 output for fire and one for bugler. Input that into the arduino and send a sms message to my Samsung S5 on at&t.
I can handle any of the electronics but not good at coding and have searched for days for a simple sketch that would do this. Thanks N0xd
Ok that seems straight forward enough
If you want to send an SMS you will just need to find an online SMS provider for your country, preferably one with an open API that you can simply send your data (your phone number and the message) up to.

There probably isn't a "simple" sketch out there as most will require a degree of customisation (input type, SMS provider, phone number, message, etc). How much have you done with Arduino or C+? Starting with ethernet could be quite challenging.
To be honest a neighbor gave me a arduino to play with and I bought the ENC28J60 and wired it up this week. Actually all I need to do is send a email. I have AT&T and I can send a message to my phone by sending 515-555-XXXX@txt.att.net. I have been searching for a week and can't find a simple sketch example that will do that. I just want my home alarm sending me a sms/email if my alarm goes off.
