### Android SMS Gateway

- **App:** SMS Gateway API (itsmeichigo/SMSGateway)
- **Phone:** Samsung Galaxy, IP: 192.168.1.100
- **Port:** 8080
- **Token:** Stored in ~/.openclaw/sms-gateway.json (chmod 600)

API Reference

See references/api_reference.md for detailed API endpoints for each supported app.

Security Considerations

Network Security

• LAN only: Keep gateway on local network when possible
• Firewall: Restrict access to gateway port
• HTTPS: Use HTTPS if exposing externally (requires app support)
• VPN: Use VPN for remote access instead of port forwarding

capcom6-Specific Security

Recommendation: Use capcom6's private server mode for maximum security: https://docs.sms-gate.app/getting-started/private-server/

Authentication

• Strong tokens: Use random API tokens (32+ chars)
• Token rotation: Rotate tokens periodically
• File permissions: chmod 600 ~/.openclaw/sms-gateway.json

Rate Limiting

• Avoid spam: Implement sending limits in your workflows
• Carrier limits: Respect SMS carrier rate limits (~1 msg/sec)
• Queue system: Use queue for bulk sends

Troubleshooting

Gateway Not Responding

# Check phone connectivity
ping PHONE_IP

# Check API endpoint
curl -v http://PHONE_IP:8080/api/v1/status

# Check app is running (on phone)
# - Open SMS Gateway app
# - Verify server is started
# - Check logs in app

Authentication Failed

# Verify token
curl -v http://PHONE_IP:8080/api/v1/status -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN"

# Check token format (some apps use different auth headers)
# See references/api_reference.md for app-specific auth

Message Not Sent

# Check phone signal
# Check SMS balance/plan
# Check app logs
# Verify recipient number format (include country code)

Usage Examples

Security Alert System

# Send alert when scan detects issues
./scripts/send_sms.sh --to "+1234567890" \
  --message "🛡️ ALERT: Vulnerability found on 192.168.1.50"

Two-Factor Auth Codes

# Send 2FA code (integrate with your auth system)
CODE=$(openssl rand -base64 6 | tr -d '/+=' | head -c 6)
./scripts/send_sms.sh --to "$USER_PHONE" \
  --message "Your verification code: $CODE"

Scheduled Reminders

# Cron job for daily security reminder
# crontab -e
0 9 * * * /path/to/send_sms.sh --to "+1234567890" --message "Daily security check: Review logs"

Monitoring Integration

# Nagios/Zabbix alert script
#!/bin/bash
STATUS=$1
if [ "$STATUS" != "OK" ]; then
  ./scripts/send_sms.sh --to "+1234567890" --message "MONITOR ALERT: $STATUS"
fi
