Tekview Powertxt GSM Power Socket

The Tekview Powertxt GSM Power Socket is an SMS-controlled remote power switch that manages mains power from anywhere.

Overview

The Powertxt operates purely via SMS (text message) commands and does not rely on network data, WiFi, or internet connections. It is suited to out-of-band management, including hard reboots of critical equipment by cycling the mains power off and on. The unit provides instant SMS alerts for device status and includes a plug-in temperature sensor, allowing you to set time schedules, delays, and temperature thresholds with text alerts when thresholds are crossed.
