HG send sms with a usb-key and SIM Card

[nolio]

Hi,

I configure HG to send sms with a usb-key and SIM Card, when the "security alarm system" is armed and triggered.
Do you think it can be interesting to describe on how to configure it ?

The needed things :
#######################################
- Raspberry Pi Model B rev2 (for me)
- USB Key 3G (Huawei E1752 for me)
- SIM Card from a operator which permit to send SMS
- USB Key reconize on rasp
- Install Gammu
- Use of a python script which listen as socket server
- Modification of script "90-Security_Alarm_System"
- HG >= r326 (permit to use TCP Helper Class)
##########################################

Hi,
So i try to describe what i did ...

The differents steps :
1/ Install USB Key on rasp
I just plug my USB key and it is recognize :
lsusb | grep Huawei
Bus 001 Device 006: ID 12d1:141b Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
2/ Install python
sudo apt-get install python
sudo apt-get install python-setuptools
3/ Install Gammu
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gammu
dmesg |grep ttyUSB*
sudo gammu-config
sudo gammu --identify
You can test to send a sms with this command :
echo "testtttt" | /usr/bin/gammu --sendsms TEXT "+xxxxxx"
xxxxxx = your phone number
4/ Install python script
from this web site :
   http://domotique-info.fr/2014/01/un-script-python-comme-serveur-sms/
        (french site but the code is compliant )
        part 6 : "6 – Le script Python « passerelle SMS »" ("...import socket.....")
I use :
     filename='/tmp/sms-gw.log'
And on line 40 :
cmd = "echo " + chr(34) + data  + chr(34)+ " | /usr/bin/gammu --sendsms TEXT " + num
I use too the part 7 to create a bootable script
5/ Adapt C# script "90-Security_Alarm_System" to use the python script
..........
var recipients = Program.InputField("Email.Recipients").Value;
////////////////////// Send SMS //////////////////////
var remoteserversms = "xx.xx.xx.xx"; //@IP of your server with python script
var tel1 = "xxxxxxxx"; // Your phone number
//////////////////// 1st SMS /////////////////////
TcpClient
   .Service( remoteserversms ) // server
   .Connect( 3000 ); // port of python script
TcpClient.SendMessage(tel1+"::Alarm //"+Program.Parameter("HomeGenie.SecurityTriggerSource").Value+" //");
Pause(3);
TcpClient.Disconnect();
Pause(3);
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
if (recipients != "")
....

I want to send 2 SMS so i copy the code between "1st SMS" and "//////////" with a new variable "tel2".

So it work fine for me. There is some more advance solutions than gammu which use php (and compatible with older version of HG), but i doesn't want to install php on my raspberry (i think so heavy).
Perhaps, there is better way to code in C#, but i am not a expert in C#, and i am more useful to code simple code in bash, perl, or VB.

Hi, all

It will be great if SMS via USB 3G dongle can be added by default to HG!

Hi,

We can only work on :

• Step 5 : Add the code in the script existing with the installation "90-Security_Alarm_System"
• Use the new program execution available in script to call gammu command (more simple than add a python script)

I try the last one but the command is little bit hard to pass a lot of arguments, the command to execute :

Code: [Select]

echo "testtttt" | /usr/bin/gammu --sendsms TEXT 0606060606"---->>>> Failed C# code ---->>>>

Code: [Select]

var proc = new System.Diagnostics.Process {
    StartInfo = new System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo {
        FileName = "echo",
        Arguments = "'test cle 3G depuis HG en processsss' | /usr/bin/gammu --sendsms TEXT '0606060606'",
        UseShellExecute = false,
        RedirectStandardOutput = true,
        CreateNoWindow = true
    }
};
And last, we can't do the installation of key and gammu .

Hi,
An update, it's more simple now. On HG, i pass from TcpClientHelper to System.Diagnostics.Process.

That's mean, the python script is no more needed but a direct call to gammu command line (you can see an example in my script here : http://www.homegenie.it/forum/index.php?topic=520.0).

(- Powered USB Hub or Raspberry pi B+ to avoid the startup bad recognition and the need of unplug/plug after a reboot ?? )

Or adapt it
