Home Assistant integration

This integration adds the possibility of sending SMS and making text-to-speech calls via sms77.

Installation

Manually

Clone the repository to a folder called "custom_components" in your Home Assistant root directory, e.g. git clone https://github.com/seven-io/home-assistant ~/.homeassistant/custom_components/seven

Via HACS

• Navigate to HACS -> Integrations -> Custom repositories -> Add
• Set Repository to https://github.com/seven-io/home-assistant
• Set Type to Integration
• Confirm form submission and the repository should be appended to the list

Configuration

Add to configuration.yaml - usually in ~/.homeassistant/:

notify:
  - platform: seven
    sender: HomeAssist # defaults to hass - see https://help.sms77.io/en/set-sender-id
    name: seven_sms
    api_key: INSERT_YOUR_SMS77_API_KEY_HERE # see https://help.sms77.io/en/api-key-access
    recipient: 01716992343 # or specify multiple numbers e.g. [01771783130, 01716992343]
  - platform: seven
    sender: +491771783130 # - see https://help.sms77.io/en/shared-numbers
    name: seven_voice
    api_key: INSERT_YOUR_SMS77_API_KEY_HERE # see https://help.sms77.io/en/api-key-access
    recipient: [01771783130, 01716992343]
    type: 'voice'

Check out the example on how to configure a service call on automation when using the GUI.

Note that you can also make a minimal configuration to configuration.yaml where all the remaining necessary configuartion will be made in the automation like:

notify:
  - platform: seven
    name: seven_sms
    api_key: INSERT_YOUR_SMS77_API_KEY_HERE # see https://help.sms77.io/en/api-key-access

Use the following yaml example, entered via the automation GUI, if you want to manually configure the automation like when sending sensor data. Just add into the message field '{{ states("sensor.sensor_name") }}' and manual configuration will be enabled:

service: notify.seven_sms
data:
  data:
    sender: From_Name
  message: '{{ states("sensor.sensor_name") }}'
  target: Recipient_Phone_Number(s)

Follow the Home Assistant - TEST IF IT WORKS documentation for testing your automation.

Consider changing the automation mode for the automation which defaults to single when created. If you expect a series of consecutive triggers for the same automation, only the current running will be processed when single is defined and a log warning is written . Setting this to parallel will process them all one by another.

API Communication Security

When there is communication via the API to the seven.io host, this communication is secured via https.
