SETUP
BEFORE USE:
SMS Butler M1 requires the SIM card PIN code deactivated. This is carried out by temporarily
inserting the SIM card into a common GSM mobile phone which allows to disable the PIN code
(please refer to the manual of your mobile phone or contact your mobile phone provider).
All remote communication with the SMS Butler takes place through the GSM network. In order to
receive SMS command messages (e.g. for controlling a heating appliance), SMS Butler needs to have
a SIM card installed, just like any standard mobile phone.
Both pre-paid and subscription based SIM cards will work from any provider. Ensure that SMS
messaging is enabled.
Please keep in mind that common pre-paid offers have a limited validity before losing charged
credits. De-activation of such may vary depending on the mobile provider chosen. Please ensure the
use of at least one credit within the period.
INSERTING THE SIM CARD
Always ensure that the SMS Butler is powered off (i.e., it is not plugged into a
socket) when manipulating the SIM card.
Insert the SIM-card into the SMS Butler as shown in the picture, with the clipped
corner to the top left and the gold contacts down. Push the SIM-card inwards until
you hear a "click". Similarly, to take the card out, gently push until you hear a "click".
CONNECTIONS

push button is ineffective to turn on/off the integrated 230V outlet.
2. Connect the electrical device you want to turn on/off remotely to the 230V socket of the SMS
Butler
The Power-LED is indicating the status of the 230V socket:
- green = 230V output on
- red = 230V output off

GSM SIGNAL QUALITY
The GSM LED is indicating the strength of GSM signal in the network to which the SMS Butler is
connected.

In cases of (2) or (3) it is recommended to move the unit to get better coverage.
To achieve satisfactorily functionality the SMS Butler requires a good GSM network coverage. Elbro is
not responsible for network malfunction.

RESET THE SMS BUTLER
The SMS Butler is factory set with “1234” as personal access code.
Should you lose or forget your code, the following procedure will reset it to “1234”:
1. Pull SMS Butler out of the wall socket
2. Press and hold the on/off switch on the bottom faceplate
3. Plug the SMS Butler into the wall socket and continue to hold the switch for another 10
seconds before releasing it.
Signal LED will now blink 5 times, and code is reset to “1234”.

CONTROL BY SMS
It is possible to operate the Butler SMS through SMS messages sent from an ordinary mobile phone.
The SMS commands must respect the principles described below. Each message must begin with the
personal 4-digit code, otherwise it will be silently ignored by the Butler.
Each command consists of a keyword followed by a single letter parameter.
The most common is 1for "on" and 0for "off".
The commands are not case sensitive, that is to say, Smeans the same as s.
Examples are placed in quotation marks (""). These quotes should not be transcribed in the message.
1234 is the personal code used in the following examples.
Multiple commands can be combined in a single text message
(In this case the personal code only appears once, at the beginning of the message).
Proceed as follows to send a SMS command to SMS Butler:
1. Open the message application on your mobile phone and create a new message.
2. Write the personal code.
3. Write command.
4. Send the message to the mobile phone number corresponding to the SIM card located inside the
Butler.
Introductory example: send SMS to activate the output (socket) of your Butler.
The integrated power socket can be activated with the transmission of "1234" password and "R" for
the relay and control to turn on the switch "1"
(The colors are only for a better understanding of statements)
R11234 Comment:
The message contains two blocks, which are separated by a space (no more space to enter)
The default password is 1234 and to switch off the socket you use R0
Principle: one (1) to turn on and 0(zero) to turn off.
You can activate the Butler and check the status ("S" command) in an SMS. The return message
serves as a confirmation that the order has been received and executed. In addition,
you can send a message like this:
1234 R1S
Multiple commands are simply executed in the textual order, from left to right. The return status is
the one that results from previous commands.

To use the SMS Butler you can use the following commands:
- 1234 R1 switches on the 230V socket of the SMS Butler
- 1234 R0switches off the 230V socket of the SMS Butler
