This is pretty cool I signed up and I will try to start looking in to the API. If I get something together I’ll reach out to you for testing?

My solution was to setup the SMTP notify component and make the “to” address the email to SMS gateway address for your cell phone. For example, [email protected].

It can be a little slow sometimes, but works OK for the most part. I use Pushover as my primary notifier, but for critical notifications, I send a Pushover notification and an SMS via this method.

there is this component as well: https://home-assistant.io/components/notify.twilio_sms/

Thanks I will try that.

This is what I currently do and it works great. It would be nice to have something that works independent of my home network however.

If I understand correctly you can send SMS to some phone number trough SMTP?

Correct, most (maybe all?) phone providers offer an email that will send a SMS message. So for example.

[email protected] will send to my cell phone and

[email protected] will send an SMS to my wife.

Can you post your configuration file for this?

notify:
  - platform: smtp
    name: me
    server: smtp.gmail.com
    port: 587
    sender: [email protected]
    encryption: starttls
    username: [email protected]
    password: 12345
    recipient: [email protected]

        for:

Hi

Thanks for this, but my phone provider don’t offer free sms send service. Because of that I try to make my own SMS gateway trough my phone on witch I have unlimited internet and SMS amount per month. And I am looking an application for android to be my SMS gateway.
