Discover how to send SMS using Arduino UNO R4 Wi-Fi without a GSM module. This project utilizes the Circuit Digest Cloud API and a basic web interface to deliver real-time text messages over the internet, ideal for IoT and alert systems.
2. Learn how to send SMS alerts using
Arduino UNO R4 WiFi without a GSM
module.
We use the CircuitDigest Cloud API, a
free service to send SMS via the internet.
This method is cost-effective and
perfect for IoT applications like:
Home security notifications
Sensor alerts (fire, gas, motion)
Industrial status messages
Send SMS with Arduino
UNO R4 via Internet
3. Components

Arduino UNO R4 WiFi
USB to Micro USB-B
Cable
12V DC Adapter / 5V
USB-B Adapter
Computer with Arduino
IDE
Internet Connection
4. Initial Setup and
Configuration
Install Board Support in Arduino IDE
Register on CircuitDigest Cloud
Sign up or log in, and generate a free SMS
API key.
Link Your Mobile Number
Add and verify your Indian mobile
number on the dashboard.
Each API key allows up to 100 free
SMS/month.
5. Arduino Code
Overview
WiFiS3.h – To connect the Arduino to a
WiFi network.
Connects to WiFi using SSID and
password.
Sends a POST request to the SMS API
with
Execution:
When Arduino is reset, it automatically
sends the SMS.
Serial monitor prints status updates.
6. Code
Implementation
and Working
Use Cases:
Security Alerts: Motion or intrusion
detection systems.
Home Automation: Send messages
when an appliance is turned on/off.
Sensor Warnings: Gas leaks,
temperature spikes, smoke detection.
Industrial Alerts: Notify operators of
fault or emergency conditions.
