Has anyone used SMTP for texting Alerts using the Notify component / SMTP platform? (ex: [email protected])
I looked at some of the supported texting platforms, they all had charges associated. SimplePush was a one time $4 charge, that’s not bad. Is there another option I need to explore?
Using SMTP works. I got notification loaded. The format is a little off. Just curious what others are doing if any?
Sorry, my post was a little murky.
My goal is text alerts. I look at emails, but text catches my attention right then.
The smtp notifier works for emails and if you use the “email to text” address it will send a text.
But when you look at the text there are other sections besides just the message. My test was using the sun up/down in the notify component document. Are there other texting options?
Any cool examples using the “email to text” option?
I’ve always used the same here using SMTP but haven’t gotten SMTP working on my Hassio install yet. Interested as well if there are options but that seems the easiest still.

Use command-line based notify for it. There’s two versions of mailx, the original and the newer one (forgot what it’s called but it’s an apt-installable package) which supports the above options.
