Not receiving SMS anymore


#1

For some reason sending SMS messages to my phone stopped working. I just created a piston to test it and tghe piston executed ok but I have not received any text messages. any ideas?


#2

ST stopped sending SMS to all users outside of the US back in September. If you are in the US, you need to opt-in to receive SMS messages.

So the question for you… are you in the US or other country?


#3

I am in the US. I was receiving messages yesterday.


#4

Not sure what is going on. I tested and SMS worked for me.


#5

It seems to be working for me now too. I wonder if there was a server issue that has been resolved.

You have a strict daily limit… Any SMS beyond that limit is lost forever…
(I do not know which time zone when your daily count resets though)


#7

Do you have any idea what the limit is? I only use it a few times a day (when the door is locked or unlocked).

  1. Rate Limits - You can receive a maximum of 100 messages per phone number, per configuration, per day (12:00:00am-11:59:59pm). Some of your SmartApps may be approaching this level. Review your settings to ensure your SMS messages are not affected by the limits.

I may be wrong, but I think I remember reading it was 100 SMS per day, per ST account…
