I also don’t see any event for received SMS.
Is it already included on HA 0.112?
Yes, but it seems not be working, the incoming.
No logs at all, no event triggered. Weird.
Some Huawei modems provide 2 serial interfaces, only of them can actually receive SMS notifications but both can send SMS.
If you are in this boat try to change the serial device to the other one.
Can you post your logs?
Looks like I have quite the choice - I’m currently using USB0 mapped to /dev/sms:
[ 10.336224] usb 1-1: GSM modem (1-port) converter now attached to ttyUSB0
[ 10.336526] usb 1-1: GSM modem (1-port) converter now attached to ttyUSB1
[ 10.340206] usb 1-1: GSM modem (1-port) converter now attached to ttyUSB2
I’ll have to have a play at some point but not tonight - I’m spending this week migrating monitoring services at work to a new host so don’t want to overload myself. Funnily enough I think our SMS system uses the same modem through a Windows machine, and I had similar issues with ports there IIRC.
Is there a way to log incoming messages?

I had a quick play this afternoon whilst waiting on the results of some automated post-migration tests.
Removing the integration (which was using /dev/sms mapped to ttyUSB0) and trying with first ttyUSB1 and then ttyUSB2 leaves me none the wiser.
ttyUSB1 fails to complete adding the integration as it is non-responsive.
ttyUSB2 leaves me still with only outgoing sms and the gsm signal status, so I’ve reverted back to my mapped /dev/sms configuration which works fine for outgoing sms and signal status.
In practice I’d be unlikely to use inbound SMS but now my curiosity is piqued…
Q: With a successful two-way integration should we see an sms.incoming_sms listener under Available Events in Developer Tools > Events?
hello
I’m facing to an issue when I activate the sms in the configuration
I get this error
Component error: sms - Requirements for sms not found: [‘python-gammu==2.12’].
on the debian I already have gammu
ii gammu 1.40.0-1 amd64 mobile phone management utility

I can send sms from the debian cli with the script you made
I tried to install python-gammu into terminal of home assisstant through the web interface but the apt-get command is not found
home assisstant is installed into docker, I don’t know how to install python-gammu on it
here is the full log:

You seem to be using an old version of home-assistant, could you upgrade to the latest?

I looked at my version and it seems be to the last
can you tell me if I’m wrong ?

I dont understand what is requesting python-gammu==2.12
The sms integration requires python-gammu=3.1
could run pip install python-gammu=3.1
on debian, the last version seems to be 2.12-1
[buster (stable)](https://packages.debian.org/en/buster/python-gammu) (python): Python module to communicate with mobile phones (Python 2)

also, here is my output:

I dug down a bit further into this as I now have a use case for receiving SMS in HA.
It looks very much to me like the Huawei Modem E3531 is not supported by gammu for receiving SMS messages - based on my own tests posted above and the open issue on GitHub
I’d love to be corrected on this, as it saves me hunting down an alternative fully supported modem.
Edit: Alternatively if I’m correct on the above, suggestions for a modem that fully supports send and receive appreciated.
So after confirming my suspicions that the E3531 only supports sending SMS via gammu (regardless of which interface is selected) I was able to track down a vintage unlocked Huawei E220 to work with.
I tested with gammu from command line as root and as the homeassistant user (which is already a member of the dialout user group). This is with HA Core v0.114.4 in a Python 3.7 venv on Ubuntu 18.04.

ID 12d1:1003 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. E220 HSDPA Modem / E230/E270/E870 HSDPA/HSUPA` Modem
- mapped to /dev/sms with udev (unnecessary but my preference):
sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/999-sms-gateway.rules
#symlink to Huawei USB Modem E220 - added kernel tag as udev
KERNEL=="ttyUSB1", SUBSYSTEM=="tty", ATTRS{idVendor}=="12d1", ATTRS{idProduct}== "1003", SYMLINK+="sms"
-
restarted udev, then unplug modem and plug back in.
sudo udevadm control --reload -
Configure homeassistant via UI for port /dev/sms
-
Restart HA.

Profit

Take a look here : https://community.jeedom.com/t/sms-huawei-e3531-sim-free-retour-dexperience/20271
Maybe we can make it work
I see that there is some info missing from the docs - like in example that there is ‘sms.incoming_sms’ event that can be used in automations…
Anyway - is there any chance to add some way to have USSD or custom AT command requests?
I’d like to know values of signal (could be sensor set by integration) but also cash amount left on prepaid card I have.
Currently only way to see that is to use USSD code.
I use SIM800L via UART, works with the integration.
