When I updated home assistant today, I got the notification "The SMS notifications via GSM-modem integration is being removed".
Currently I use this integration to notify me if my internet connection goes down, as well as a monthly SMS so the sim card stays active.
I get why it will be removed, however now I am looking for alternatives for this integration. Any suggestions would be welcome.

are they any projects that you could spin up in a container that can do the modem stuff which you could then maybe integrate somehow.
an example I found in a quick search was THIS
then you could send a message using a rest command from HA
depending on your hardware that one may or may not work. but maybe you can find something that works the same way for your stuff?

The current hardware is a home assistant yellow with this gsm modem

The gateway would indeed be an option
https://github.com/pajikos/sms-gammu-gateway
However I do need to find a way to run docker from home assistant.

that can be done
so in HAOS, addons are docker containers
so you could adopt that container to run as an addon
its maybe not the easiest thing in the world but i dont think its that complicated either

Ok, that will take some more investigation, thanks

ooo just found this - https://github.com/Helios06/sms_gateway
maybe that will "just work"
looks like it does the same thing and integrates via mqtt
something else to try anyway
rugged pivot
I'll have a look, thanks for the options
vapid pendant
good luck, its an interesting problem to solve 🙂

If I find what worked, I'll post it here. (But it could take a little while)

Hey, I just ran into the same issue when the SMS notifications via GSM modem integration was removed.
As an alternative, I’ve built a Home Assistant add-on: SMS-Gammu-Gateway
https://github.com/PavelVe/home-assistant-addons/tree/main/sms-gammu-gateway
It’s based on Gammu (I’ve tested it with SIM800L) and works as a proper add-on in HAOS.
You can send/receive SMS either through REST API or MQTT, so it’s easy to integrate back into your automations.
