I made something similar a few years back with a Pi 1 and a GSM "hat". It came with a C SDK so I had to write AT commands to communicate directly with the modem and it worked great until I didn't need it anymore. Its purpose was to text me when my power or internet connection went down at home then I could respond with commands such as to shutdown the servers etc. When power/network came back it would text me the new…

The plans obviously exist at least at the wholesale level. These: https://shop.blues.io/collections/development-kits/products/... Come with pre paid 10 year internet data plans - but with a 500MB data limit (which you can top up), all for $79 including the hardware and interface board. In raw bytes, that'd be enough to send 1000 140character SMS messages a day every day for 10 years. Realistically, there's probably a…

Is there a generic app I can install on my phones that lets me push notifications to them from curl? It would be incredibly useful if Apple (or a third party app) gave people a way to POST to some secret URL and have the form data show up as a notification. I can think of a billion one-off projects that would benefit from this. The smoker/ribs are done, the pool is up to temperature, a post-interview email from that…

This is great for situations where your Raspberry Pi doesn't have any other internet access. But if you do have and ethernet drop or Wi-Fi you can also use your carrier's email to SMS gateway! For example "[YOUR-PHONE-NUMBER]@txt.att.net" https://www.dialmycalls.com/blog/send-text-messages-email-ad...
