Missed Call Control

Trigger a switch with a missed call — no data, no SMS, no typing. Just call the SmartRemote number and hang up.

Overview

The simplest trigger possible

Missed call control is the most minimal way to operate SmartRemote. You call the SmartRemote number and hang up before it answers. The device sees the incoming caller ID, confirms you're authorised, and triggers the assigned switch — all within a few seconds. No data connection needed, no message to type, no app required.

  • No data connection required — works on cellular signal alone
  • No typing or commands — one call does it all
  • Secure — only authorised numbers can trigger
  • Optional voice confirmation (enabled by device owner)
  • Works from any phone that can make a call
  • Ideal as a quick fallback or a hands-free trigger
Step by step

How to use it

1
Get authorised

The SmartRemote owner adds your cell number in the dashboard and assigns which switch your missed call will trigger.

2
Save the SmartRemote number

Save the SmartRemote number to your contacts so it's always one tap away.

3
Call and hang up

Dial the SmartRemote number and hang up before it answers. That's it — no message, no command, no data needed.

4
Switch triggered

SmartRemote sees the missed call from your authorised number and triggers the assigned switch within seconds. If the device owner has enabled voice confirmation, the call is answered and you hear a voice response.

In practice

How it feels in practice

Arriving at the gate, you tap the SmartRemote number in your contacts and hang up after one ring. The gate opens. You didn't unlock your phone, open an app, or type anything — and you didn't need mobile data.

Missed call control is particularly useful when driving, when data coverage is unreliable, or as a quick hands-free option for family members who aren't comfortable with messaging apps.

Common questions

Frequently asked

Each authorised number is assigned to a specific switch in the dashboard. If you need to trigger different switches, use WhatsApp, Telegram, or SMS — missed call is designed for a single, quick action.

That depends on whether the device owner has enabled voice confirmation. If it's off, the call is never answered — hang up at any point and the trigger fires. If it's on, the call is answered and you hear a voice response confirming what was triggered. Voice confirmation is optional and has a small cost, so it's disabled by default.

No. Missed call control only needs cellular signal to make a voice call. It's the only SmartRemote control method that works with zero data.

Yes. Multiple numbers can be authorised, each assigned to a switch. The SmartRemote owner manages this in the dashboard.
