send commands by sms

Hey people,

I'm new here and want to make a prototype with arduino parts.
I want to make a circuit controlled by cellphone.
For instance:
i sms: "Start" and it will make a output pin high
when i sms "stop" it will make the outpin low.

i'm wondering if this is possible and if it is, what parts do i need?
-which andruino board?
-which shield do i need to add to recieve SMS and read out the characters?

can anyone help me to get in the right direction?

I recommend you use an Arduino Uno first. It would be more than enough for your program. :slight_smile:

tried a program like that 2 days ago. :slight_smile:
