Probotik Systems

控制你的GSM報警器，跟踪器，智能家電，或通過手機短信的任何服務

Probotik Systems is a universal application used to send predefined SMS messages to frequently used recipients, in an easy and organised way:

- No need to type difficult-to-remember text commands that only your GSM alarm/remote understands.

- And no need to type the same message every time.

Recipients are organised in tabs, and each recipient can have a different number of easily customizable buttons.

There can be 6 tabs with 12 buttons each.

- BACKUP-RESTORE! Each tab's settings can be exported/imported to simple text files on SD card. You don't waste time on manually configuring Probotik Systems app ever again.

***BE SURE TO BACKUP IN THIS WAY BEFORE*** ever (un)installing the applicationl! Otherwise, Android erases all it's files and settings during uninstall. More details in "BACKUP-RESTORE" below.

USAGE CASES:

- Do you have a GSM smart home controller, GSM tracking device, or a home alarm system?

- Do you have a remote switch for heating, air conditioning, lights?

- Do you send them difficult-to-remember SMS messages, to change outputs and/or enquire states?

- Do you use any other kind of sms automation: sending sms to pay for public car parking, bus tickets, or for prepaid sim recharging? Do you take part in sms votings, chats and similar?

- Do you write "I love you" to your sweetheart 20 times a day? :-)

- Or text "I'll be there in 5 minutes" to your boss? Or "Come home immediately!" to your child?

- Do you send, for example, "balance?" to your bank, to enquire your account state?

- Do you...all of the above?

Then Probotik Systems app is for you!

AND FINALLY: there are NO ADS, we DO NOT require any internet permission, we DO NOT collect any data about the user. None!

TECHNICAL:

- Each recipient/tab can have it's own name and phone number.

- Each tab can have one or more buttons.

- Each button has a title (what you see written on it) and a command (sms which is actually being sent).

- Sent and delivery reports.

- We write everything to "sent" items.

BACKUP-RESTORE:

***BE SURE TO BACKUP IN THIS WAY BEFORE*** ever reinstalling the app! Otherwise, Android erases all it's files and settings during uninstall, with no possibility to recover. Backup made in this way (to SD card) is not touched during uninstall.

1) BACKUP makes a single xml file for each tab that you export (preference_ur_0, preference_ur_1, ..ur_2). For the RESTORE to work, filename must be *exactly* as created by the app during backup.

2) The numbers in the filename (0, 1, 2..) represent individual tabs, and by backup/rename/restore, you can "move" and/or "copy" the settings between tabs, and between multiple android devices!

3) If you reinstall the app (or move it to another phone) *first* create the desired amount of tabs manually, using the app menu. Then use backup-restore in each individual tab (determined by the number in each filename).

PERMISSIONS:

SEND_SMS - Obviously needed, as this is the application's primary function.

READ_PHONE_STATE - needed for newer phones (ie. Lenovo A328, LG Optimus G...) which require this permission to send SMS.

READ_CONTACTS - required to select name and number for a tab from phone's contact list.

WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE - required to backup/resore tab settings to a text file on SD card's "Download" folder.
