Sim800L Component ================= .. seo:: :description: Instructions for setting up the SIM800L GSM module to send and receive SMS in ESPHome. :image: sim800l.jpg :keywords: SMS SIM800L GSM The ``SIM800L`` Component provides the ability to send and receive SMS text messages. The device must be connected via a :doc:`UART bus ` supporting both receiving and transmitting line. The UART bus must be configured at the same speed of the module which is by default 9600bps. The required connection wires are ``+VCC``, ``GND``, ``RX`` and ``TX``. .. warning:: If you are using the :doc:`logger` make sure you are not using the same pins for ``TX`` and ``RX`` or otherwise disable the UART logging with the ``baud_rate: 0`` option. .. note:: This module requires a power supply between 3.8V and 4.2V that can handle current spikes up to 2 amps, it will not work by powering from the same 3.3V power source of the ESP. However you can connect ``TX`` and ``RX`` lines directly without any level shifter. .. figure:: images/sim800l-full.jpg :align: center :width: 60.0% .. code-block:: yaml # Example configuration entry uart: baud_rate: 9600 tx_pin: TX rx_pin: RX sim800l: on_sms_received: - logger.log: format: "Received '%s' from %s" args: [ 'message.c_str()', 'sender.c_str()' ] logger: baud_rate: 0 # disable uart logger on esp 8266 Configuration variables: ------------------------ - **uart_id** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-id`): Manually specify the ID of the UART hub. - **id** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-id`): Manually specify the ID used for code generation. - **on_sms_received** (*Optional*, :ref:`Automation `): An action to be performed when an SMS is received. See :ref:`sim800l-on_sms_received`. .. _sim800l-on_sms_received: ``on_sms_received`` Trigger --------------------------- With this configuration option you can write complex automations whenever an SMS message is received. To use the message content, use a :ref:`lambda ` template, the message content and the sender phone number are available inside that lambda under the variables named ``message`` and ``sender`` respectively. .. code-block:: yaml on_sms_received: - lambda: |- id(sms_sender).publish_state(sender); id(sms_message).publish_state(message); .. _sim800l-send_sms_action: ``sim800l.send_sms`` Action --------------------------- Send a SMS message to a phone recipient using this action in automations. .. code-block:: yaml on_...: then: - sim800l.send_sms: recipient: '+15551234567' message: Hello there # Templated: - sim800l.send_sms: recipient: !lambda |- if (id(reed_switch).state) return "+15551234567"; else return "15551234568"; message: !lambda |- return id(reed_switch).state ? "Door is now OPEN" : "Hey door just CLOSED"; Configuration options: - **recipient** (***Required**, string, :ref:`templatable `): The message recipient. number. - **message** (**Required**, string, :ref:`templatable `): The message content. - **id** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-id`): Manually specify the ID of the SIM800L if you have multiple components. .. note:: This action can also be written in :ref:`lambdas `: .. code-block:: cpp id(sim800l1).send_sms("+15551234567", "The message content"); Getting started with Home Assistant ----------------------------------- The following code will get you up and running with a configuration updating received messages on Home Assistant and will also setup a service so you can send messages with your SIM800L. .. code-block:: yaml api: services: - service: send_sms variables: recipient: string message: string then: - sim800l.send_sms: recipient: !lambda 'return recipient;' message: !lambda 'return message;' text_sensor: - platform: template id: sms_sender name: "Sms Sender" - platform: template id: sms_message name: "Sms Message" uart: baud_rate: 9600 tx_pin: TX rx_pin: RX sim800l: on_sms_received: - lambda: |- id(sms_sender).publish_state(sender); id(sms_message).publish_state(message); Now your latest received SMS and sender number will be displayed by the text sensors. To trigger the automation from Home Assistant you can invoke the service with this code: .. code-block:: yaml automation: # ... action: - service: esphome.livingroom_send_sms data: recipient: "+15551234567" message: "Hello World!"
