BACKGROUND
ATT announced it is sun setting its email-to-text and text-to-email service on June 17, 2025
I have been using email-to-text as a way to effectively send push notifications from my home security, automation system, and other IoT devices for critical events (alarm, smoke, doorbell, etc.)
ALTERNATIVE
If you are affected and are in need of an alternative, I switched to using Pushover: Simple Notifications for Android, iPhone, iPad, and Desktop
30-day free trial and $4.99 one time license per platform.
I already updated my security system and home automation controller to use Pushover. Took less than 15 minutes.
I’d be interested in what options others are using.
