IoT \/ M2M question by email to me:<\/div>\n
Q:<\/strong> Hi Harald,I found you on m2m.com<\/a> forum discussion. I am an M2M enthusiast building an M2M PoC. I noticed in one of the m2m.com<\/a> forum thread you suggested to Wakeup devices using SMS or Voice call. ie. Bootstrap to the GPRS network.<\/div>\n
I would like to know how I can implement this. Let us say I have a Raspberry Pi as a field device, what are the HW\/SW components I should be looking at to implement the scheme. Thank you for your time.<\/div>\n
Regards,<\/div>\n

\nA:<\/strong> Mohammad, thank you for your email. Please note that I can not offer dedicated IoT \/ M2M support free of charge. However, I will answer and share my knowledge.
\nThe MCU (e.g. Raspberry Pi) will listen or poll on incoming SMS or voice call.\u00a0 In the case of a voice call you can detect the caller ID by AT commands. If you detect a valid ID then you start to set up the GPRS connection. More secure is it to pick up the phone by AT command and to listen to incoming DTMF. If you detect valid tones then you go ahead with set up the GPRS connection and to access to your server by plain TCP\/IP or by HTPP.
\nWith SMS the process is the same. You check the incoming SMS by AT commands and it the text of the SMS is valid, then you go ahead to set up the GPRS connection.
\nA Raspberry PI is, in my opinion, the wrong device for a professional IooT \/ M2M device. It is too expensive and is charging to much power.\u00a0 An ARM Cortex on an STM32 Nucleo is much cheaper and can be migrated on chip level in mass production.
\nIf you plan something which will\u00a0 move to mass production from a few hundred to 100K+ then it makes sense to read my IoT \/ M2M Cookbook. An excerpt of my book you will get here free of charge:\u00a0 http:\/\/www.gsm-modem.de\/M2M\/m2m_iot_cookbook\/<\/a><\/div>\n
