SMS - Twilio

[Fahd]

Hi, 
I'm using to script below to send an SMS via Twilio,
 What should I change if I have more than one number to send to?

value = event.getvalue()
if value == true then
 
from_nr = '+13253264263' 
to_nr = 'Number1' 
id_nr = '***' -- 
token_nr = '***' -
sms(id_nr, token_nr, from_nr, to_nr, 'Alarm HCWC 009 changed to Alarm OFF')

You have to make a separate request for each recipient:

Code:

from_nr = '+13253264263'
to_nrs = { 'Number1', 'Number2', 'Number3' }
id_nr = '***' --
token_nr = '***' --

for _, to_nr in ipairs(to_nrs) do
  sms(id_nr, token_nr, from_nr, to_nr, 'Alarm HCWC 009 changed to Alarm OFF')
end

Hi,

Thanks for the reply, 
It sends only for the first number

log what the sms function returns:

Code:

from_nr = '+13253264263'
to_nrs = { 'Number1', 'Number2', 'Number3' }
id_nr = '***' --
token_nr = '***' --

for _, to_nr in ipairs(to_nrs) do
  log( sms(id_nr, token_nr, from_nr, to_nr, 'Alarm HCWC 009 changed to Alarm OFF') )
end

If you are using a trial account then you can only send test messages to your own phone number. To send messages to other phone numbers you need a paid account.

Yes I know and I didn't update yet, so numbers 1,2,3 are the same number and the script sends only one SMS instead of 3

As I've said - check what you get in logs. Do you get 3 log entries for each script call?

My mistake I thought that  I wrote  the log in the last  reply 
This is the log

As I told you the 3 numbers are the same (till now I will change it the I update the account), I can send the message 3 times if  copy and past  the code in below 3 times with the same number  but it didn't work with the loop for  

from_nr = '+13253264263' -- put sender SIM nr here
to_nr = '' -- put recepient SIM nr here
id_nr = '' -- put your ID here
token_nr = '' -- put your token here
sms(id_nr, token_nr, from_nr, to_nr, 'Alarm HCWC 009 changed to Alarm OFF')

Post your whole script with the for loop. There's should not be any difference between the loop and copy/pasted multiple sms function calls.

Code:

value = event.getvalue()
if value then
 
from_nr = '+****'
to_nrs = { '+***', '+***', '+***' }
id_nr = '***' -- put your ID here
token_nr = '***' -- put your token here
for _, to_nr in ipairs(to_nrs) do
  sms(id_nr, token_nr, from_nr, to_nr, 'Alarm HCWC 009 changed to Alarm ON')
end
else
from_nr = '+****'
to_nrs = { '+***', '+***', '+***' }
id_nr = '***' -- put your ID here
token_nr = '***' -- put your token here
for _, to_nr in ipairs(to_nrs) do
  sms(id_nr, token_nr, from_nr, to_nr, 'Alarm HCWC 009 changed to Alarm OFF')
end


end

This might happen because you are sending a message with the same text. Twilio accepts the message but then fails with "Unknown error"/undelivered. If you log the Twilio response you can check the message status in your browser by accessing https://api.twilio.com/2010-04-01/Accoun...GE_ID.json ("uri" part of the returned JSON by Twilio). Use your id/token as username/password.

Your script can be optimized like this:

Code:

value = event.getvalue()
if value then
  text = 'Alarm HCWC 009 changed to Alarm ON'
else
  text = 'Alarm HCWC 009 changed to Alarm OFF'
end

from_nr = '+***'
to_nrs = { '+***', '+***', '+***' }
id_nr = '***' -- put your ID here
token_nr = '***' -- put your token here
for _, to_nr in ipairs(to_nrs) do
  sms(id_nr, token_nr, from_nr, to_nr, text)
end

Thank you so much
