The twilio component enables the sending of notifications via SMS and the creation of calls with Twilio.

Free trial account is available at Twilio website providing free calls to verified phone numbers. Calls are limited to 10 minutes and will play a short trial message before your message runs. Upgraded accounts have no limitation.

To use this notification component in your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
twilio:
  account_sid: ACCOUNT_SID_FROM_TWILIO
  auth_token: AUTH_TOKEN_FROM_TWILIO

Configuration variables:

• account_sid (Required): Your Twilio Account SID which can be found in your console. It starts with the letters AC.
• auth_token (Required): Your Twilio AUTH TOKEN which can be found in your console. It should be directly under where you found the account_sid.
