SMS Commands¶
It is possible to control AndroidAPS remotely via SMS messages. This feature is intended so that parents, for example, can make remote interventions.
AndroidAPS will only accept SMS commands from designated phone numbers for security.
To set up SMS commands on AndroidAPS¶
On your Android phone setting go to Applications > AndroidAPS > Permissions and enable SMS
In AndroidAPS go to Preferences > SMS Communicator and enter the phone number(s) that you will allow SMS commands to come from and also enable ‘Allow remote commands via SMS’
Send a SMS to the phone with AndroidAPS running from your approved phone number(s) using any of the commands in the table below, the AndroidAPS phone will respond to confirm success of command or status request.
