The `yessssms` platform is using the Austrian mobile operator [Yesss.at](https://yesss.at) to send SMS via its web-site.

<p class='note warning'>
Regular charges apply and a contract or prepaid plan is needed.
</p>

<p class='note warning'>
Do not use this for high frequency notifications. The web-SMS page is rate limited and sending more than 45 SMS/h might get you blocked.
</p>

You can send to any number, but your phone number will appear as sender.

To enable SMS notifications in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:

```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
notify:
  - name: NOTIFIER_NAME
    platform: yessssms
    username: YOUR_PHONE_NUMBER
    password: YOUR_PASSWORD
    recipient: PHONE_NUMBER_TO_NOTIFY
```

Configuration variables:

- **username** (*Required*): This is your login name (usually your phone number). Veryfy that you can use your credentials on the Yesss.at website.
- **password** (*Required*): This is the password you use to login to Yesss.at.
- **recipient** (*Required*): This is the phone number you want to send the SMS notification to.

<p class='note warning'>
Verify that your credentials work on [Yesss.at's website](https://yesss.at). Using the wrong credentials three times in a row will get you suspended for one hour.
Home Assistant will not try to login after the account has been suspended.
Re-check the credentials and restart Home Assistant.
