Ok, so I am using home assistant to automatically send myself a message at certain times of the day using the twilio api.
https://home-assistant.io/getting-started/troubleshooting-configuration/
It is all done in the configuration.yaml file, so here is what mine looks like:
notify:
- name: Cody Wirth
platform: twilio_sms
account_sid: AC8a4f2f40331bdad5c95265f2cefe26a2
auth_token: 33a693e18dcad513d4791c51f1071227
from_number: "+16142896777"
automation:
- alias: Send message at a given time
trigger:
platform: time
hours: 24
minutes: 47
seconds: 15
action:
service: notify.twilio_sms
data:
message: 'The sun has set'
target:
- "+16147059227"
Is there anything wrong with my syntax? Is there something I need to configure on Twilio's end to make the messages come through to my phone? Nothing at all is happening when I automate the messages to send.
Ok, so this is the error that it returns:
"17-01-12 08:17:44 WARNING (MainThread) [homeassistant.core] Unable to find service notify/twilio_sms"
To be able to use twilio, you first need to enable/configure the twilio component. The automation does not configure or start the twilio component, it just uses it.
You can find the configuration documentation on the twilio component page:
twilio:
account_sid: ACCOUNT_SID_FROM_TWILIO
auth_token: AUTH_TOKEN_FROM_TWILIO
After you configured it (and restarted home-assistant), your automation should be able to send notifications over it.
