SendMessageActionConfig is currently being serialized and stored within each Action's actionInfo. This should be moved to a sqlite database, or something similar, to make extending functionality easier

This plugin should be installable via HomeSeer’s updater. Requiring users to clone this repo and build it themselves is painful.

Thanks for this very nice plugin!.

I would l;ike to know, When i will be out of the trials.... is the trigger gonna be faster? because now it's take somewhat 10 seconds for the trigger to fire the hs event.

Thanks

I think currently you can only send a text to one number at a time. It would be good if you could send a text to multiple people. It does not need to be MMS, just have the plugin call Twilo and send a copy of the message to each number in the 'To' line of the event action. (I think HS does this by delimiting with ';' and no spaces between e-mail addresses)

Separately it would be cool to be able to set a group of numbers who are authorized to send text commands to HomeSeer.

ok was able to build

When i enter my number 1xxxxxxxxxx it says:

The 'To' number 1xxxxxxxxxx is not a valid phone number.

ok i had to create a number in twilo

Sometimes, HomeSeer will not report the plugin as running, when in fact it is. I can't consistently reproduce this, but restarting HomeSeer or the plugin will sometimes fix the problem.

I am not a programmer but love to tinker with HS. Plug-In loaded successfully. When I try to sent test, I get the following message:
Could not load file or assembly 'System.Net.Http, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies.
Any advice will be much appreciated.
Apologize if I am not following proper protocol to submit this issue!
Steve...

The plugin is rather disorganized right now, having been clobbered together from various examples around the Internet. I need to clean this up...

A "Test" button should be added to the config screen to allow users to verify their configuration

This will allow scripts and plugins to communicate with this plugin.

How do I install this on my HomeSeer3 linux box? I'm assuming I need to download and then compile it, then install? HomeSeer has me spoiled with one click installs, but I'm willing to get my hands dirty.

Thanks

Was excited to find this plugin, trying to add to WAF and give her SMS updated when the dryer is done. BUT When I run a test I receive an 'Update Required' error?

Currently, this plugin polls the Twilio API every X seconds to see if any messages have been received. Twilio supports webhooks that can notify consumers of messages without the need for polling.

Benefits

• More immediate feedback of incoming messages. This would allow triggers to fire faster
• The plugin can respond to the webhook with a TwMl response, which would allow us to reply to the recipient.

Drawbacks

• Requires HomeSeer to be publicly accessible -- Twilio needs to make an HTTP(s) call into HomeSeer to notify us of the incoming message. This potentially requires networking configuration on the end-users part, which isn't very friendly. UPnP is an option, but not something I want to explore for this plugin...it's too much of a security hazard.

The plugin should support polling for incoming messages, and allowing events to be driven by them based on simple string matching.

Example:

IF `twilio messaging` receives a message containing the text `foo`
THEN
  do the things

Currently only the account SID and auth token can be used to authenticate with Twilio. It would be nice if an API Key could also be used so access to the account can be revoked without having to close the account.
