Sending SMS through Pushbullet using their Android integration

This script doesn't require your Home-Assistant to be configured with Pushbullet but it is highly recommended because then you can send notifications too, see Pushbullet component for more information.

For more information see the Pushbullet API documentation for SMS

Installation

To install download the script to <home-assistent>:/config/pushbullet_sms.sh and make sure to make it executable (chmod +x pushbullet_sms.sh).

Oneliner install on the home-assistent:

$ cd /config && curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fondberg/hass_pushbullet_sms/master/pushbullet_sms.sh > pushbullet_sms.sh && chmod +x pushbullet_sms.sh

Get device iden and other info from pushbullet

$ curl --header 'Access-Token: <your_access_token_here>' https://api.pushbullet.com/v2/devices | jq .

SOURCE_USER_IDEN='niklas'
# The numbers you want to send SMS to
