Sending SMS via LTE

[jebbett]

Hi,

I think this is more of a question than a bug, I want to be able to use the SMS functionality to be able to send an SMS and delete from the SMS queue, using your library I can read the SMS queue but can't send or delete. I think this may be a limitation on the Mikrotik side?

On RouterOS v6.49.18 using an LTaP mini, I can send over SSH, but using this library it doesn't work, just wanted to know if this is a limitation or I'm doing something wrong, API responses and SMS logs are lacking any feedback but I think that's default for a failure on the API.

Hi. Thx for asking. What command do you use to send, delete, read SMS via SSH ?

[jebbett]

Hi,

No problem

To send: tool sms send phone-number="+4471234567890" message="Hi!" port=lte1

To read: tool sms inbox print

To delete: tool sms inbox remove numbers=XXXX

The read works via your script, but send and delete unfortunately don’t

Try exactly same commands via librouteros. They should work.

Can you post exact code part which executes failing commands ?

This is what I’m sending:

port=8728
args = {
'phone-number': '+4471234567890',
'message': 'Hello’,
'port': port
}

    api(cmd='/tool/sms/send', arguments=args)

The command itself doesn’t report any failure, and nothing is logged in the Mikrotik side of things, just silently fails and nothing is sent, but the read command works fine.

You need to pass arguments as kwargs

Thank you! The below is now working!

sms = api.path('tool', 'sms')
tuple(
    sms(
        'send',
        **{
            'phone-number': '07123456789',
            'message':      'Hello'
        }
    )
)
