SMS Gateway Addon

Hello all,

I made a SMS Gateway Addon for Home Assistant. It could interest some of you.
I haven’t done any doc so far but code and configuration is quite readable in the repository. I will write a documentation as I will get more time
In the mean time I can help by answering to all in this community

It runs on the latest version of core, supervisor, samba, mqtt and is able to send and receive SMS according to all GSM7 characters (not extended sms so far). It works with my Huawei dongle which is a modem and not a network gateway so not in HILINK mode so far (but under construction)

Using Samba, push it to addons directory and it will appear in your Local Addons Store on HA

The repo is here : https://github.com/Helios06/sms_gateway
If you ever needed one … enjoy

I suggest a little more detail in the readme would be awesome.
What it does, what it needs, how it works, why I want it kind of thing. The better prepared you are with the documentation, the fewer stupid questions you will get from users.

Of course ! I will provide much more documentation as soon as I will get time.

Version 1.0.9 released with some kind of README

After a while I finally add time to learn more about add-ons.
So now I released a new stable version 1.1.4 with a HA security score of 7.

From the dozens of these 4g dongles I’ve had over the years, I’ve never had a modem one, always USB network type… :frowning:

Never been able to get one flashed to modem either I guess it’s just not a thing in Australia

Sorry for late answer, Huawei as 2 versions for 3G/4G usb stick, modem version or gateway api version. ask for the modem version

Nobody to ask

Good morning,

this looks interesting.

Is this what I would put on the remote box if I want to put the GSM/SMS stick on a separate box from my home-assistant box? If it matters the remote box is an RPi3b running dietpi with gammu etc installed. The GSM modem stick is an Huawei 8372 in GSM modem mode.

Thanks!

to bring closure:

apparently this really really really wants to be an addon. Core doesn’t support addons directly altho can sometimes/often manually set an ‘addon’ up in it’s own docker and then manually do the HA interfacing.

I reached this conclusion after looking at /run.sh (which runs in the docker container) and then looking at:

https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/add-ons/configuration/

and

https://github.com/hassio-addons/bashio

While it looks useful, I have decided that I am not ambitious enough to pursue this at this time. My thanks to Helios06 for developing and posting it though.

Thank you so much for this add-on :slight_smile:
I want to know if it’s possible to insert \r or \n in text message?
I try some possibility but no success.
Thank you
