All good now - just needed a "pleasant Saturday afternoon" to reload and explore. Now to interconnect with my remote cell controller!

Thanks again for the plugin!

Ok I have it up and running.

I had to run the following two lines.
sudo easy_install-2.6 pip
sudo pip2.6 install twilio

It seems to be working great so far. One issue I found when trying to click the "Check for Messages" under the plugin menu we get the following error in the Log but it runs and works as desired.

Edit the Device configuration and check/uncheck the delete messages box as needed, then save the config. I'm not sure how you managed to get a phone number into the config without the delete key getting set, but that appears to be the problem. If you're still getting the error message, enable debug mode then do the menu action. Then post the log section.

You installed Twilio for Python 2.7. You need to install it for Python 2.6.

Code: Select all

sudo easy_install pip2.6

sudo pip2.6 twilio

Please copy and paste the terminal or log output into CODE tags, not screen shots. They're very hard to read.

I had the command wrong:

Code: Select all

sudo -H easy_install-2.6 pip

Hi. Played with this today, it's a great start!

Two things:
- what was the intent of placing a call and enjoying the hold music? Notification to primary mobile and bridging?
- Minor error found:

Code: Select all

  File "plugin.py", line 264, in sendMMSAction
  File "plugin.py", line 276, in sendMMS
NameError: global name 'smsDevice' is not defined
Thanks for doing this!

1. Go back and read some of the older threads on this plugin. There's a user that needed a way to play a voice call to activate a device. The music is just a placeholder.

2. Already fixed in my code. Will be in the next release.

Hi

Well its been just about 3 months now with twilio up and running with no problems, And for only $1 per month and just pennies
per text well worth it to be able to get text of power outage or water leaks and so on. Not sure if anyone is willing to tackle
GV issues or not. My next thing is id like to try to have my Indigo act on a receive a text from my twilio account to control stuff if i text my
twilio number what i get back is ( Hello from twilio) I tried adding a new (Trigger Event) where it says Pattern Match in SMS
Message there a few settings like Twilio Number Match type and Match in, didn't look thru the forums to see if someone has this working
any thoughts what i can try You must of put a lot of time in writing this plugin is there someway to contribute for your effort in this project?
Thanks
Bret

Actually, this was a fairly easy plugin to get the basics working. The Twilio API and library for Python is quite easy to use.

When you send a text to your Twilio number, it gets saved on their server for retrieval. There's an action you can use to poll their server for new texts, using an Indigo schedule.. Or you can use the method outlined in this thread to get immediate notifications: http://forums.indigodomo.com/viewtopic. ... 77&t=16318

On the account portal in Twilio you can control what reply message gets sent back when you send a text to a Twilio number. The default is that Hello message.

Hope that helps.

Hi

Well that worked out good with the Action and Schedule for polling Twilio message. I'll try looking at other things i can do with it.
As far as the Account portal for the replay message it took a little digging to get down to what i saw Dev Tools and edit TwiML Bin
But i got . Because of my traveling for work it nice to be able to get notification when power went out and the generator has kicked
on and Temp and other things. Nice Plugin and so far very reliable.

Thanks for the great plugin. I have been looking for something to replace Google SMS for a while now. It might be helpful to others to update the readme file distributed with the plugin for the proper python install instructions and maybe a reference to the twilio getting started Post.

I think i used these commands, but i had to try a few and am not 100% positive, if someone could verify please to help future users. (I will adjust as necessary from suggestions)
thanks again for the gereat plugin!

Code: Select all

sudu -H easy_install pip2.6
sudu pip2.6 install twilio
Locked

Return to “Twilio”
