Twilio Sender ID not working

Trying out twilio for the first time to send alerts to visitors when they are approaching my house to let them know the house is open now and stuff like that but I don’t like the fact I have to lease a phone. I am trying to use Sender ID but it is not working.

Continuing the discussion from [0.85: ESPHome, Plum Lightpad, OpenSenseMap]

(0.85: ESPHome, Plum Lightpad, OpenSenseMap):

Getting this error

Invalid config for [notify.twilio_sms]: does not match regular expression for dictionary value @ data['from_number']. Got 'AnM_House'. (See ?, line ?). Please check the docs at https://home-assistant.io/components/notify.twilio_sms/

EDIT: this is the error message i get.

Did you ever figure this out?

I think it was my setup you can’t use sender ID you have to use the phone number.
