Huawei LTE/5G Router SMS to PushOver Notifications

This python script will read your text messages from Huawei router with HiLink then forward it to PushOver push notification. It's forked from chenwei791129/Huawei-LTE-Router-SMS-to-E-mail-Sender but with some changes:

• Instead of sending email, it will send a push notification using PushOver. PushOver is working fine on my Android Pixel, iPhone SE, and iPads
• Making sure that PushOver have received the notification before marking the SMS as read, by reading the HTTP response
• Hopefully it will also keep the SMS message unread if Internet connection is down, but I haven't tested that yet
• It should be executed periodically with cronjobs. In my case I'm running it every 20 seconds in a Raspberry Pi

Tested on:

• Huawei H112-372
• Huawei H112-370
• Huawei E3372
• Huawei E5573Cs-322
• Huawei E5373s-155
• Huawei E8372*
• Raspberry Pi 4 Bullseye 64-bit

If you have successfully run it on other Huawei routers, let me know to add it to the list.

(*) You have to wait for several minute before the script successfuly works on E8372.

Operational content

1. Find an unread SMS
2. Send the SMS content via Pushover notification
3. Set this SMS as "read"

How to use

1. copy .env.example to .env

$ cp .env.example .env
$ nano .env

2. just run it!

$ python3 check-sms.py

3. To periodically run it via crontab. I've set it to run to every minute

$ sudo chmod u+x check-sms.sh

Then add at the end for every minute execution:

* * * * * /PATH/Huawei-LTE-Router-SMS-to-PushOver/check-sms.sh

or check every 10 seconds:

* * * * * ( /PATH/check-sms.sh )  
* * * * * ( sleep 20 ; /PATH/check-sms.sh )  
* * * * * ( sleep 40 ; /PATH/check-sms.sh )  

Don't forget to change PATH.
