The `twilio` component enables the sending of notifications via SMS and the creation of calls with [Twilio](https://twilio.com).
|
|
|
|
Free trial account is available at [Twilio](https://twilio.com) 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.
|
|
|
|
## {% linkable_title Configuration %}
|
|
|
|
To use this notification component in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Example configuration.yaml entry
|
|
twilio:
|
|
account_sid: ACCOUNT_SID_FROM_TWILIO
|
|
auth_token: AUTH_TOKEN_FROM_TWILIO
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
{% configuration %}
|
|
account_sid:
|
|
description: "Your Twilio Account SID which can be found in your [console](https://www.twilio.com/console). It starts with the letters `AC`."
|
|
required: true
|
|
type: string
|
|
auth_token:
|
|
description: "Your Twilio AUTH TOKEN which can be found in your [console](https://www.twilio.com/console). It should be directly under where you found the `account_sid`."
|
|
required: true
|
|
type: string
|
|
{% endconfiguration %}
|
|
|
|
### {% linkable_title Usage %}
|
|
After configuring the base Twilio component, add and configure either or both of the [twilio SMS](/components/notify.twilio_sms/) and [twilio Phone](/components/notify.twilio_call) components to utilize the notification functionality.
|
|
|
|
To be able to receive events from Twilio, your Home Assistant instance needs to be accessible from the web ([Hass.io instructions](/addons/duckdns/)) and you need to have the `base_url` configured for the HTTP component ([docs](https://www.home-assistant.io/components/http/#base_url)).
|
|
|
|
To set it up, go to the integrations page in the configuration screen and find Twilio. Click on configure. Follow the instructions on the screen to configure Twilio.
|
|
|
|
You will get a URL of the following format: `https://<home-assistant-domain>/api/webhook/9940e99a26fae4dcf6fe0a478124b6b58b578ea4c55c9a584beb1c9f5057bb91`. To generate inbound events, you have to configure your webhooks with [Twilio](https://www.twilio.com/docs/glossary/what-is-a-webhook)
|
|
|
|
Events coming in from Twilio will be available as events in Home Assistant and are fired as `twilio_data_received`. The data specified by Twilio will be available as the event data. You can use this event to trigger automations.
|
|
|
|
You can then consume that information with the following automation:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
automation:
|
|
trigger:
|
|
platform: event
|
|
event_type: twilio_data_received
|
|
event_data:
|
|
action: call_service
|
|
action:
|
|
service: light.turn_on
|
|
entity_id: light.office
|
|
```
|
