The 18" clothes hanger works on the CM15
« on: September 04, 2012, 05:57:02 PM »

So I was very dissappointed in the Range of the CM15 for picking up Motion Detection from the MS18a.  I thought I would not be able to use that feature.  Then I read this forum and a few people said use an 18" coat hanger.  So I taped an 18" straightened piece of hanger to the existing antenna and the difference is amazing.  Thanks to all the forum contributors. 

So for my contribution: I wanted to get a text when motion was detected and the DS7000 was armed.  I haven't figured that out so I used a conditional statement on the TM751 being on, so I am using it as my arming device.  Then upon motion and Tm751 armed and email is sent to my email box which contains "intruder" in the subject.  Then I use a rule to forward the email to a mailbox which sends me a text.  Sort of complicated but I gets the job done.

Yes, I've had pretty good luck with this mod myself.

Most wireless carries have an e-mail address format that you can use to send texts right to the phone number. For example, if your Verizon cell number is 123-456-7890, then the e-mail address would be 1234567890@vtext.com .
I'm not sure how old this list is, but there are a ton of providers, with their address formats, listed here:
