SMS sending and receiving

[Systm21]

What about sending and receiving text messages? That would open up new possibilities.

Hi, reading the documentation it seems possible via the API but I don't think home assistant is the correct tool to do this (plus I don't have a cellular device to test myself).

Can I ask why this would be necessary and how it would be possible in home assistant? How would this look to you? The only "text box + post" that I know of is on the actions page but how and where would a list messages be displayed?

I would consider adding a "most recently received SMS" as a sensor but a full dump of all SMS and sending messages would be out of scope for the time being.

If I had a cellular glinet device I would consider creating a whole new integration solely targeting sending SMS notifications from automations as an alternative to notify.mobile_app
