[SOLVED] 10 SMS limit per day

I have 4 apps that text me

  1. When battery drops below 40%, hasn't happened yet since setting up HE
  2. When a light gets turned on under my house, used to work until 7/22
  3. House temp goes above 77 degrees, last one was 7/15
  4. Garage door is open at sunset, last one was 7/10

I haven't received a text since 7/22

Today, when under my house, the light was turned on via HE as expected, yet no text.

I opened up the live log and manually turned on the light, the log says that I have reached my daily limit... See above haven't gotten a text since 7/22

Thoughts?

Well, brand new day and 10 new texts :slight_smile:

I turned on the light under the house, it shows as being turned on in the logs, yet no mention of a text and .... no text

What am I missing?

You mention you have 4 apps that perform the above... What apps are you using? Rule Machine? If so, please post a screen shot of each RM Rule so we can help you troubleshoot. I know you'll want to obscure the phone number, but we will need to see the exact formatting of how you entered the phone number to help. Perhaps you could just change the phone number to something like +15555555555 (assuming you're in the USA.)

Or, an even better solution may be to submit a support request to support@hubitat.com. They are very responsive.

Battery low is the Hubitat Safety Monitor
Light on under house (Dirt Room) to send a text is RM.


The light turns on via motion with Hubitat Simple Lighting

I just now turned on the light in the Dirt Room via HE

The light shows it went on but no text and nothing shows for the RM Rule in the logs

House Temp goes above 77 is WebCore, however at the moment my Pistons won't open, haven't had time to troubleshoot however I did post here in another thread of the issue
Garage door is open at sunset is also WebCore. It was open past sunset and no text

The other day, my log said I had reached the 10 per day limit when I hadn't received a text in 8 days, now nothing shows in the log about the limit yet no text

Thanks in advance
Rick

I decided to recreate the RM Rule and when I turned on the light, the logs says I have reached the daily limit, yet I have received none since 7/22

Sounds like you should contact support@hubitat.com.

Just to throw this out there...I experienced a similar issue where I stopped getting texts, turned out my phone was hosed up and when I rebooted, all of a sudden everything started coming in.

Hey all,

As it turned out, my hub wasn't connected to the cloud. While working with Bobby in support, he suggested shutting down the hub, pull the power for a minute then reboot. Sure enough it fixed the issue. Even though during some construction around here, the hub was getting rebooted (power breaker off/on = BAD).... somewhere along the way it got hung and a "Proper" shutdown fixed it.

He also indicated there should have been a notification in the upper right corner about it not being connected to the cloud, something I never saw and he is submitting a ticket for.

All good now
Thanks, Rick
