Can I receive text messages from this or do I need a separate controller?

No. It is not capable of reading/sending messages from the interface. You are however able to program a "follow me" phone number which will alert you during system activities (I.e. Arm/Disarm / System Alarms and Troubles)

I can't get it to call follow me phone number. IS it the report codes? I'm set to cbb.

I have been able to get the controller to work using wifi. They now include the part needed to have the controller talk to your router. When I bought mine I had to purchase that separately (Netgear). I think you can also set the controller remotely though I haven't done this yet. I'm still not happy with this product. It has so glitches that I haven't worked out - can't properly name the zones, for example.

You can access your messages remotely using a security pin you setup. Simply enter the pin when you hear your outgoing message. The base unit can be wall-mounted if you choose (mine is), but the small remote handset bases are not wall-mountable.

there is no app for this. device transmits on its own frequency. can only be picked up by receiver.

Yes, but to my knowledge, sending them is done with sVoice. An on-screen keyboard was rumored, but I have not seen it. It would be tiny on that screen. The device also needs a phone or tablet to send and receive SMS.

Yes and yes. You can control this device remotely using an existing android device or a PC using an app called DroidMote server. Since this device is rooted, a one click installation is suffeicient to install this app on the stick. The server app is just $2.58 and is totally worth the money. Good job DroidMote guys. The client app is free to be installed on android device and PC. Once again a very good jobNo need to spend $30 upwards on a bluetooth keyboard and mouse when a $2.5 app is enough. ALso, the client app is more convenient as well

I don't use a smart phone or the text, but I looked this up for you: The Motorola H17txt lets Android smartphone owners listen to their text messages without looking at their phone. Hope this helps.

Believe you can text, but I never used it. The sound is good depending on where you are and who your carrier is The tiny keyboard is querty.

Mine is connected through the Wifi, so I am not 100% sure about it. But my guess would that you should still be able to control this device using App. I believe the requirement is that both receiver and your phone (connected to home Wifi Network) are connected to same IP network.

If you have the correct app, then you can text Android devices, as well. Two apps that I know will allow this are textfree and pinger. Both are free.

Yes you can, I have one myself. I have the 60 dollar unlimited talk & text with 2gb data. But using iMessage without wifi will burn your data if used constantly, but it's best to have wifi for this plan.

I have not set text message up. I set it through email instead. I think it can be set through text message. Maybe I should look into it again too. There was some complication when doing that.

Yes, works with zwave. You can set up to receive a text,push or email notification.

Yes you can; however, you will need to get controler so it can communicate with the iphone app. You will need something as simple as the insteon hub or as powerful as the ISY994i (This is the one I have). It depends on how many devices you want to use, etc.
