architecture VS TextBelt

It’s all clearly defined in ADR-007 https://github.com/home-assistant/architecture/blob/master/a...

The TL;DR: Authentication for devices and services are via the UI only (to deal with OAuth2, refresh tokens, auto-updating IPs via mDNS). Automations/scripts/scenes are both YAML or UI.

Just make sure you follow the link at the top for the requirements and have all of the requirements insyalled before running the script.

You can read more about it here.

I use paid service textbelt.com (also www.twilio.com is there), they have standard plugin for many languages.

# Path: lib/sms_demo/sms_handler.ex defmodule SmsDemo.SmsHandler do use GenServer def send_message(to_phone, message) do GenServer.cast(SmsDemo.SmsHandler, {:send, {to_phone, message}}) end def receive_message(from_phone, message) do GenServer.cast(SmsDemo.SmsHandler, {:receive, {from_phone, message}}) end def start_link(_) do GenServer.start_link(__MODULE__, [], name: __MODULE__) end def init([]) do {:ok, %{}} end def handle_cast({:send, {phone, message}}, state) do textbelt_url = "https://textbelt.com/text" textbelt_key = Application.get_env(:sms_demo, :textbelt_key) replyWebhookUrl = Application.get_env(:sms_demo, :webhook_url) params = %{ phone: phone, message: message, key: textbelt_key, replyWebhookUrl: replyWebhookUrl } HTTPoison.post(textbelt_url, Poison.encode!(params), [{"Content-type", "application/json"}]) {:noreply, state} end def handle_cast({:receive, {phone, message}}, state) do # TODO: Do something with the message {:noreply, state} end end

I settled on https://textbelt.com/ since it was cheap, a curl one-liner to use and didn't require me to install something new on my phone.
