If we want our SCADA system to do SMS notification with Ignition what are our options? "SMS Notification Module" + Airlink device + SMS cellular plan. Or
"Twilio notification module"? There is no other option?
If there isn't another option, what is usually the more robust solution? I would guess this is based on location and cellular service strength, ISP reliability etc...
These are the two options offered by IA. You can also sometimes (depending on the cell carrier) send SMS by sending an email to a certain address, but this never seems very reliable from what I've seen.
How do I get Twilio as an available module? I found this thread but did not see Twilio as available module to install. Twilio alarms module
I am currently running 8.1.42.
Is there anything special that needs to be done at the Twilio end? I wanted to set up a test notification but can't seem to get it going. Ignition realized the correct phone number at Twilio end. I have set up Roster with one user. User is set up with SMS contact. The phone number is correct and starts with +1. I can see on the vision client the alarm appearing and disappearing when testing.
