Send SMS

I'm using an older version of Indigo, 7.0 .4. Works great, does everything I need.

One thing I have is a dry contact sensor for a doorbell button. Someone presses the doorbell, the dry contact closes, a Z wave command is sent, Indigo flashes bulbs throughout the house.
This works great, unless it's sunny and I don't see the bulbs flashing. Since I am deaf there's no chance of hearing a doorbell.

I thought of a way to solve this. In addition to having the bulbs flash, I could send an SMS to my phone to have it vibrate. I doubt there would be more than 10 SMS messages per year.

Is there way to send SMS messages from indigo – maybe through a Python or Apple script?

Thanks,
Barry.

Twilio plugin. It'll cost you about $1.20 per month. $1 for the phone number, plus something per message.

Thanks. I am using your BetterEmail plug-in. That works great.
I will have to give your Twilio plug-in a try.

You'll probably need to run an older version since you're on an old version of Indigo.

Consider a push notification. I use https://www.indigodomo.com/pluginstore/14/

I use the iMessage plugin

My provider (Verizon US) has a service where you can send an email to MOBILE_NUMBER@vtext.com and it will be forwarded via SMS. The service is included with my plan, so there's no extra cost.

Thanks, I never knew about that.
I use T-Mobile and phonenumber@tmomail.net works
I haven't tried it but supposedly on AT&T phonenumber@txt.att.net works.

Pushover plug-in is awesome. It’s my go to for messages from Indigo. 43,439 messages received and counting.
