TRB140 /api/messages/actions/send "modem" field

[aschulze]

Hi,

I am affected by API changes that force me to rewrite my software because a formerly supported API endpoint to send SMS just got removed. As others pointed out, this is a major no-go. Our devices are connected to a PC with a 1:1 ethernet connection, so there is no reason to worry about plain text passwords in the URL component (which are otherwise a stupid idea, yes)

How do I find out, what to put into the “modem” field when sending SMS? Is there an API endpoint that lists all available modems? How do I pick the right one? This info wasn’t needed in the previous API.

Greetings, André

Is there an API endpoint that lists all available modems?

The TRB140 has a single modem.

You can send a GET request to the /modems/status endpoint. The response will include the modem ID, which on most devices is “1-1”

More details can be found here:
