With ALEOS, there is SMS support to actually send SMS messages. “Services → SMS”. This functionality is/was missing in AirlinkOS. Has this functionality been added? Without it, we can not use the “XR” family of devices. We currently use the LX & RV family of devices.
Hi @dmalan,
Please refer to the doc: Using SMS with the Router - XR90-5.0 - Sierra Wireless to check how Airlink OS supports SMS.
Thanks,
It appears that those are the instructions on how to use SMS to send commands to a XR device for the purpose of managing the device. “You can use SMS to configure the cellular settings or reboot the router” I am not trying to configure the router via SMS.
With the devices that use ALEOS, like the RV50, 55 & LX40, you can send SMS messages via the router with third party programs. And in turn, the device can send a message back to a third party program. I had talked with a Sierra Wireless "Strategic Account Manager and his FSE in January 2023 and they stated this functionality was NOT included in the AirlinkOS and that it might be at some point. I am trying to find out if that happened.
Thank you.
