1. Overview
WE110 is a SMS and RING based remote control. It provides a digital input and an output relay that make it suitable for remotely control gates, doors, windows and in general to automate any access.
Mounting the device is extremely simple thanks to its magnets. Other mounting options are available.
Read also the WE110 Manual for thermostat and generic control.
4. Installation and setup
- Disable the PIN for the SIM card to be used in the WE110, using a standard GSM cell phone. Refer to the phone user manual for details.
- Insert the SIM card in the slot.
- Connect the output relay to the controlled gate or device.
- Screw the antenna provided in the SMA RF connector, then connect power leads and power on the device.
System startup takes approximately 45 seconds, during which the LED in

All setup and control activities of the device are carried out sending and receiving SMS messages.
Note
The text in bold denotes strings to be typed and sent to the device.
For example, ADD means that a SMS containing the word ADD will be sent to the device.
The first operation to execute in a new WE110 is to define the administrator phone number:
ADMIN +391112223333
From this moment it will be possible to configure WE110 by sending SMS from only the ADMIN number.
Set the SMS service center of the SIM provider:
CENTER +393359609600
The following table shows the service center numbers of the most relevant providers:
| SMS service center numbers |
|---|
| Country |
Operator |
Number |
| Italy |
TIM |
+393359609600 |
| Italy |
Vodafone |
+393492000200 |
| Italy |
Wind |
+393205858500 |
Now it is possible to add a user that will be enabled to call WE110:
ADD +391112223333
Adding two or more users can be done with the same command and up to ten users can be added. Notice the space between the numbers:
ADD +391112223333 +394445556666
Similarly, it is possible to remove a user from WE110:
DEL +391112223333
Removing two or more users can be done with the same command and up to ten users can be removed. Notice the space between the numbers:
DEL +391112223333 +394445556666
Note
Only the administrator user can add or remove users
At any moment the administrator can obtain the list of registered users:
LIST 1
With this command the administrator receives one SMS with the first ten users.
To receive the users 11 to 20, the administrator can send the command:
LIST 2
and so on with the next users.
6. Using the device: SMS
It is possible to add up to 120 users.
The registered users need only to place a call to the SIM number that was inserted in WE110 to activate the relay. The lenght of the pulse is configurable.
WE110 will hang up making the call free.
6.1. Administrator
There are two different ways to execute the administrator fuctionality:
- Sending SMS from the administrator phone number
- Adding the administrator password at the end of the command. This is possible only if the command is sent from a phone number of a registered user.
For example, to register a new user from the administrator phone number send:
ADD +39xxxxxxxxxx
or send:
ADD +39xxxxxxxxxx 0000
where 0000 is the password.
The default password is 0000 but it’s possible to change it with any 4 digits number:
PASS xxxx 0000
where xxxx is the new password.
It’s possible to change the administrator phone number:
ADMIN +39xxxxxxxxxx 0000
where 0000 is the current password.
To obtain from WE110 the administrator phone number send:
ADMIN 0000
6.2. Alarm management
WE110 can send an alarm message every time that the status of digital input changes. To enable this functionality send:
ALARM ON
When input is closed, WE110 will send an SMS with message “ALARM”. When the input is opened, WE110 will send an SMS with message “END OF ALARM”.
To disable this functionality send:
ALARM OFF
6.3. GSM signal level
To know the GSM RF signal level send the SIGNAL command. The device replies with a level number between 1 and 30:
- 1 to 7: GSM signal is too low for a correct operation of the device
- 8 to 12: GSM signal is low
- 13 to 18: GSM signal is good
- Higher than 18: GSM signal is very good
6.4. Factory reset
To restore the device to its factory default send the command DEFAULT.
6.5. Miscelaneous commands
The pulse duration of relay is setted at 15 seconds. It will be possible to change it in every moment sending the command:
PULSE X
X is the duration of the state closed in seconds.
With command ALL ON all phone numbers are enabled to use the WE110.
To disable this functionality send
ALL OFF
6.6. Back-up battery (optional)
The device version WE110/B is equipped with an internal back-up battery, designed to send SMS notifications in case of power failure longer than 5 seconds time.
Independently from the configuration previously made, the user ADMIN can enable this option by using the command PWRMON:
| PWRMON <admin> |
|---|
| It enables the notification of power failure. |
| admin |
admin: the telephone number of the admin user, defined to receive the SMS |
| Example |
PWRMON +391234567890 |
| Message-text sent in case of power
failure: |
Power supply off |
To disable this function, the ADMIN user shall send the following command:
PWRMON OFF
Note
The internal battery powers the device for the time required to send the SMS notification.
After 30 seconds from the power failure the device will switch off.
