Hi!
I got a 5G router with SMPP support but I can’t find any support for SMPP with Home Assistant. I want to use it to send SMS to my and my wife’s telephones.
Currently I use a script that do an SSH login to a machine where I have script that sends the message to the router using SMPP. It has some drawbacks tough:
- I didn’t manage to get multipart messages to work. This is not a big problems for notifications as they are rather short. However doing larger reports and send then via SMS is now not possible.
- Some characters doesn’t work as they interfere with the Shell used. I guess that converting the current script into a REST HTTP service could possible fix this but direct SMPP would be nicer instead of relying on a gateway software service.
The main reason for using SMS is the delays sometimes seen with the Mobile App. In some occurrences the important notification can be delayed for hours whereas SMS’s seldom have this problem and is usually delivered promptly. I haven’t seen any lengthy delays for SMS’s ever.
