So I've just been playing with mqttwarn (https://github.com/jpmens/mqttwarn) for notifications, and I've just added a new service of an sms gateway for sending SMS messages using this android app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.perfness.smsgateway.rest&hl=en
Then I have OpenHAB pulling any incoming messages received by the sms gateway phone (for low balance, or replies), funnily enough, those are then sent via boxcar back to my phone (though anything in mqttwarn could be used).
So what is the point of this? You generate notifications in openHAB, that mqttwarn publishes as an SMS via this app running on your phone? Sorry, probably being a bit thick but just can't quite see how you are using this all?
A different phone (I'm IOS). So I have an old android running at home that is an SMS gateway.
Its mainly used to tell my GPS tracker about my new IP address - since they don't do DNS. THe incoming messages is just handy for getting a return status from the gps tracker (could be a couple of days later it's used).
Mostly it's "because I can" factor.
