Communications Commands
All configuration commands follow a simple command structure:
cfg <option> <parameter> [value]
Commands omitting the value parameter return the current configuration setting.
Commands are case-insensitive
Capitalization is used in the documenation to denote device options and parameters.
After changing configuration values using these commands, you need to take special action for your changes to be permanently stored by the device. See the Configuration File Management Commands section for more details.

M2M (SMS) Notification Commands¶
| Option | Parameter | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMS | 1 to 5 | 20 Character String | Sets the cell number for SMS notifications of alarm events. Phone numbers must begin with a '+' and country code. Up to 5 numbers can be managed. |
| SMS | ENx, where x is 1 to 5 | 0 or false 1 or true | The corresponding cellular number with an enable state of true will receive alerts from this device as they occur. Setting the enable state to false will disable alerts. |
| Option | Parameter | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMS | 1 to 5 | String,T/F | Sets the cell number and enable state for SMS notifications of alarm events. Phone numbers must begin with a '+' and country code. Up to 5 numbers can be managed. A cell number with an enable state of T will receive alerts from this device when they occur. Setting the enable state to F will disable alerts. |
M2M (SMS) notifications and Inzwa's platform services
- Inzwa's SIM service does not utilize cellular phone numbers so SMS messages can't be sent directly to cellular numbers from the device. A cellular number can be activated on your SIM if you wish to have this capability. Contact Inzwa for more information.
- You may notice a cellular number of 2936 configured on your device. Changing this value will affect the Inzwa platform's ability to notify users of alarm events. This cellular number should only be removed when not utilizing Inzwa's platform services.
Message Routing¶
Defines the message routing used to send messages to the end users or external systems. The default value is 'None' in all cases.
Do not change these parameters when using a device with Inzwa Cloud.
| Option | Parameter | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| ROUTE_MSG | IND | None, SMS or MQTT | Routing for informational messages. |
| ROUTE_MSG | EVENT | None, SMS or MQTT | Routing for vibrationm and tilt event messages. |
| ROUTE_MSG | ALARM | None, SMS or MQTT | Routing for other types of alarm messages. |
| ROUTE_MSG | PEAK | None or MQTT | Routing for periodic vibration readings. |
| ROUTE_MSG | BEAT | None or MQTT | Routing for periodic tilt readings. |
Message routing is not available for these models of the Veva III.
Notes on selecting the appropriate routing method
- SMS can only be used with the cellular communications module.
- MQTT can be used with either the cellular or WiFi communications modules.
- The MQTT_OFF configuration property in the Main Commands configuration must be set to
falsefor MQTT messages to be sent. - The SEND_SMS configuration property in the Main Commands configuration must be set
truefor SMS messages to be sent. - It's best to set the PEAK and BEAT parameters to MQTT when using external powwer with the Veva III otherwise battery life will be reduced.
- Setting PEAK and BEAT to MQTT will consume more cellular data especially if data is also uploaded via FTP or HTTP.
