Sms sample Digi to Digi
SMS Sample showing Digi Python sending and receiving messages
Using these building blocks you can create simple poll-response systems. One of the nice things about SMS is it allows sleeping systems, where the messaging system buffers messages on your behalf.
Sending messages
This script sends a block of messages to remote SMS peers, which may be other Digi devices.
import digisms import time addresses = ["15551234567", "15551234568"] num_messages = 10 for address in addresses: for i in xrange(num_messages): cur_time = time.strftime("%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S", time.gmtime()) msg = "%s: Message %s" % (cur_time, i) digisms.send(address, msg) time.sleep( 1.0)
Receiving messages
This script sleeps forever, display any SMS messages received. Note that is this script exits, the callback might go out of scope and message receipt stops.
import digisms import time def ping_callback(a): print """\ Message from: %s at: %s ==================== %s ==================== """ % (a.source_addr, a.timestamp, a.message) h = digisms.Callback(ping_callback) while( True): print '.' time.sleep( 15.0)
