eCos finds a home in home security

Linuxdevices.com displayed the eCos Home Securer on its website as a feature article recently. Linux Devices identifies key features of the Home Securer that include the ability to:

report status, send logged data, and be configured remotely via SMS messages, data connection (the GSM can be used in modem mode), or GPRS. It features caller-ID for voice calls and can respond to requests sent within SMS messages....

Additionally, the device's built-in software includes support for analog and digital I/O interfaces, threshold settings, timers, and functional operators (IF, THEN, ELSE, and WHILE). The analog and digital ports can be used for security, environmental, lighting, moisture, and other sensor and control interfacing purposes.

Advanced Information Networks SecureSite is a package that offers similar features to that of the Home Securer. SecureSite is built into an enclosure and offers intruder notification to cell phone, remote control via cell phone and input sensor monitoring and logging. As the package is built round AIN's XE8000 SMS Controller, control of additional outputs such as door locks would also be possible.
