Send SMS messages via REST api using Gammu as backend.

Requirements
------------

* The following program works both on Linux and OSX.

* You must already have `Gammu <https://wammu.eu/docs/manual/project>`_ installed and configured on the right device.
Note it's obvious that your device must manage SMS sending/receiving with Gammu perfectly.

Installation
------------

* Install the package into your project's virtual environment :

``pip install smsgateway-gammu``

Configuration
-------------

* Modify the ``/etc/smsgateway.yml`` configuration file with your favorite text editor.

.. code-block:: yaml

# Server settings
server:
# Listen address, put 0.0.0.0 to listen on all interfaces
host: "127.0.0.1"

# Listen port
port: 1234

# Gammu settings
gammu:
# PIN code, enter pin code there to unlock directly from application
pin: 1234

# Configuration : instead of a .gammurc file you can give configuration there
# config:
# Device: /dev/tty.HUAWEIMobile-Modem
# Connection: at

# General settings
# Phone numbers that doesn't want to receive messages from gateway
send_blacklist: ["[phone]", "[phone]"]

# Phone numbers that are allowed to send messages to gateway
receive_whitelist: ["[phone]", "[phone]"]

Usage
-----

Start the gateway
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* To start the gateway, just type the command :

``smsgateway``

* Or if configuration file is elsewhere than ``/etc/smsgateway.yml`` :

``smsgateway --config <your_configuration_file>``

Sending a text message
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There are different ways to send a message :

**GET method**

``GET /sms?number=mynumbers&message=mymessage``

Where **mynumbers** are phone numbers, comma separated.

For instance : ``GET /sms?number=[phone],[phone]&message=Hello``

Will send "Hello" message to the 2 phone numbers and return the JSON : ``{"status": "ok", "message": "messages sent"}``.

**POST method**

::

POST /sms?number=mynumbers
{
"message": "Hello World"
}

Where POST data is JSON containing the field string "message".

::

POST /sms?number=mynumbers
{
"messages": [
"Hello",
"World"
]
}

Where JSON contains the field "messages" which is a list for multiple messages.

User interaction
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Users allowed to send SMS messages to the gateway (receive_whitelist in config) can interact with the system.

**Keywords are :**

* **PING** : to check if the gateway works correctly, returns PONG if all is good.
* **PAUSE** : temporary pause messages coming from the gateway. It's worth to have this feature when a monitoring system spams you. To enable again just resend **PAUSE**.

Prometheus Alertmanager
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The gateway was primary designed to work with Prometheus `Alertmanager <https://prometheus.io/docs/alerting/alertmanager/>`_, allowing sending alerts with SMS messages.

To configure it, create a new **receiver** entry in the alertmanager configuration file :

.. code-block:: yaml

receivers:
...

...
- name: sms
webhook_configs:
- url: http://localhost:9876/sms?number=[phone],[phone]
