Strange iPhone WebSocket problem only occurs on my iPhone, but no other device
checked out the source of the Home Assistant app, compiled and ran it on my Mac Book Pro successfully. Is the same as I used on my Mac OS X which support Mac OS / iOS / Apple Watch.

My smart home 2021: A Home Assistant love story
2. Firebase Cloud Messaging, for push notifications (since we can't talk to APNS directly in HA)
FCM is a dependency I'm actively trying to kill off in favor of an implementation that is both end-to-end encrypted and talks directly to Apple's Push Notification Service. Apple would not allow a solution where HA talks directly to APNS as they do not want that many active connections, and it would require disclosing private keys for the App STore account.

Disclosure: security vulnerabilities in 3rd party custom integrations HACS, Dwains Dashboard, Font Awesome and others
Only issue I'm seeing right now is balancing the security of your setup with the lack of iOS support for client certs. Looks like it's under some amount of development, but not much movement in the past 3 years: https://github.com/home-assistant/iOS/issues/27. Since I use our family's phones as a presence detection, I'd need the this to work with iOS.

Automated texting using google voice?
I doubt you'll find a free SMS texter. Textbelt seems to be low-hassle and open-source. There's an option for standing up your own server to make it "free". I'd look into email options as well. It looks like most carriers support some kind of email-to-text path.

Using TextBelt SMS with Elixir
I was recently introduced to the SMS service TextBelt which is a pre-pay and simplified service to provide the ability to send and receive SMS messages from code.

Does SAAS arbitrage even work?
I was looking into some side project ideas and stumbled upon one called textbelt where the guy uses something like twilio in the backend and sell 10x per SMS. It is kinda arbitrage for SaaS products. This guy is legit and also has 5 to 10K $ per month stripe verified indiehackers project. More over he doesn’t even promote his product and moved on. Yet this is so popular enough to bring in 5k a month. Do you guys think its possible to reinvent something like this and promote to make a worthwhile side project ?

Can your monitoring system run shell scripts and curl in response to events? If so you could use a service like Textbelt to send SMS messages from it.
