hi,

the PIR sensor is used to detect human,

for activation of the system, maybe u can try use bluetooth connection. get a bluetooth module to receive signal from handphone :)

I guess you want to remotely activate/deactivate your home security system through sms. Bluetooth alone only allows you to access your system when you are within the specific transmission range. Unless you are connecting your system to your PC for 24/7 and you have a phone with web browsing capability, then you can create a web-based system which you can access to the online control page through your phone or any PC connected to the internet.

Otherwise, you need a GSM module to develop such system. For example: http://www.cytron.com.my/viewProduct.php?pid=BRArGw0eDBslDwgmNzgnDXYiMNoN/WdNaMltSPMdMEs=&store=

Another way is hacking a handphone using your controller. But this method is more difficult because you need to get the correct communication protocol and hardware interface from somewhere (from forum/blog/sharing/...?!? Basically means you need to google for it.) because not all phone using the same protocol. It depends on which brand and what model you wish to use. After getting the matching communication protocol and hardware interface, you need to write your code to 'talk' to the phone and command it to read sms received. Then analyse the sms with your controller and execute desired actions. Some info about this is discussed here viewtopic.php?f=10&t=10274. There's a nice website recommended by our forumer - aurora.
