I posted a thread here yesterday about the possibility of having an Android phone connected to a tinkerforge master brick, such that upon receipt of SMSs, the Tinkerforge module would execute certain commands, e.g. triggering relays. My thread appears to have disappeared (as did my account).

 

I saw one reply, which suggested that this would be tricky, as Brick Daemon is incompatible with Android. Do you think there would be any possible workarounds?

 

Thanks in advance.

I think you can talk the underlying TF protocol, and bypass the daemon. There's nothing in Android that will stop you from taking this approach..

Dear Ramanoop,

 

I'm very sorry, I have deleted your account by mistake. In the last time we have some spam bots here which create a lot spam content. Basically copied from parts of other posts. I have seen your auto-translated German posts and thought that this was spam, too. Unfortunately I don't have read your English post carefully enough. Sorry. We have restored your old posts, but can't restore your account.

If the (master) brick stack is accessible via network via Ethernet or WIFI Extension then the Brick Daemon is obsolete otherwise the operating system need this like a TCP/IP router, but currently the BrickD is only existing for Win, Linux, Mac: http://www.tinkerforge.com/en/doc/Downloads.html
