# SMS Messages from the Arduino Ethernet Shield

> A small test that can send SMS messages from an Arduino Ethernet Shield.

Original author: mike rankin (source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMQldXmIj7c)

## Components

- **Arduino Ethernet Shield** x 1 ([docs](https://docs.arduino.cc/retired/shields/arduino-ethernet-shield-without-poe-module))

## Article

This project is a SMS notification tool in arduino through Ethernet. SMS notifications would be useful if the Arduino is connected to several sensors different sensors that could trigger different notifications. A flood sensor, temperature or motion sensor could all be used.

All the work is already done by using the Twitter Library. You just have to create a new Twitter username and modify the settings.
-install the Twitter library here: [http://arduino.cc/playground/Code/Twi…](http://arduino.cc/playground/Code/TwitterLibrary)
-create a new twitter username that your arduino will post messages to and possibly make it non-public.
-create a ring token for the new username here that you will enter into your (simple post) arduino example: <http://arduino-tweet.appspot.com/>
-modify the code to enable DHCP.
-modify your other, regular twitter account to follow the newly created arduino one.
-modify your regular twitter account so it will SMS you on each new twitter post for only your arduino posts. Settings, Mobile and enter your cell phone.
-Home, Following, to the right find your Arduino account, (drop down error), turn on mobile notifications.
