New to home assistant need help with twilio sms setup

Configuration
1

Hi Peeps
I am brand new to Home Assistant
I am trying to setup sms with twilio, once i start HA with the following snippet, the HA dash states

The following components and platforms could not be set up.
notify.
Please check your config

When I look at the log it says the same thing but doesnt specify anything more.
I have tried using quotes, taking quotes out , I have played with the spacing but nothing seems to work.
I have searched for similar problems on the forums but found nothing so forgive me if I have duplicated the issue.

**Note I have changed the sensitive data.

notify:

  • name: sendsms
    platform: twilio_sms
    account_sid: AC123456789
    auth_token: 123456789
    from_number: “+44123456789”

Any help would be appreciated.

Many thanks.

As many configuration issues are related to spacing, you should get into the habit of using the pre formatted text so that the spacing in your configuration shows up.

There is a script you can run to check the config file for errors, should give that a try: https://home-assistant.io/getting-started/troubleshooting-configuration/

I have Twilio setup and working just fine in my setup. I believe you can check it out in my Git repository. As other’s have said, spacing is the biggest challenge.
