Hi Group

is it possible to use an arduino to monitor sensors in a remote location and to upload results via email or texts using gps or a mobile phone network?

i.e could I use some heat sensors (or similar) connected to an arduino that logs the heat constantly and then periodically (based on a set delay) the average, high and low temperatures are sent by 4g or 5g as an email, text or whats app etc..

Yes

Not with a GPS :slight_smile:

(did you mean GSM?)

GPS is not a network for sending messages ................

:smile: I did mean 4g / 5g etc.. but in reality I don't care how the data is transmitted as long as it can be received via email, text etc... or any other way from a long distance.
I assume a sim-based 4g/5g will be the answer if possible.

Hi Helibob
thankyou, any info or links that you might know of on what is needed / where to get it?

OK

sure cellular connection, a dedicated radio (eg Lora) or joining a local WiFi (possibly tethering from a smartphone) would work.

Arduino sells the MKR family with various radio capabilities.

Which one would you feel is the more appropriate for your case ?

(you can also buy separate modules for cellular connectivity but then need to assemble the modules together, worry about the power etc...)
