Sep-25 06:39:35 SMS-Gateway Error Error in storage retrieval

Hi Scott. Firstly, are you running the lTest version from the updater? 3.1.xxx

Secondly, can you tell me what modem/phone you're connecting the plugin to?

In essence, the plugin tries to check the phone/SIM memory to see if it's full and if so, can clear it out. Is can happen if you receive a lot of messages while the plugin is not running or is a lot of outbound messages fail.

What it looks like is that the plugin is failing to retrieve that data from your device. As every device responds slightly differently to the command to retrieve is data I may need to make some tweaks to support your specific device.

So, firstly confirm you're on the latest version, of you are or if the error persists after the upgrade, please go to the config page of the plugin, enable trace logging and log to file. Restart the plugin and wait for the error to show up, then post or e-mail the two log files in the \Logs folder (both start with HSPI_SMSGW...)

I'm running version 3.1.0.18694 of the plug-in and the modem is a Generic GSM Modem with Wavecom Q2303A Module.
The one I bought is here http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I'll enable logging and let it run for a while.

Scott, this is a bug on my side, I'll get on it ASAP and get a new version into the updater to manage it.

It doesn't look like it's affecting anything, so I'll ignore it for now.

Thank you for getting on to it so quick

Scott, there's a new version in the updater, I'm not sure it will completely solve your problem, but it will help me narrow down where the issue lies as there is some more debug information. If you can repeat the exercise with trace logging enabled and send me the HSPI_SMS.LOG file from \Logs it would help.

Overnight logs ....

As I thought. Most devices return Read/Write/Receive memory status but the Wavecom only sends Read/Write memory status information. I've handled the error more elegantly and it should no longer pollute your log files. The new version is in the updater 3.1.1.17367

One final question

Whats the format of sending an SMS from a VB script?

Scott

[beerygaz]

Scott, check the help file. There are two methods you can call and both are documented there. Look up hs.pluginfunction in the scripting help too.

Let me know if you need more detail.

[ScottRennie]

Ah the hs.pluginfunction is probably the bit it didn't get when I was looking at the docs.

Cheers Gavin

[beerygaz]

Try
hs.PluginFunction("SMS-Gateway", "", "SendSMS", {"<phone no>", "<message>"})
or
hs.PluginFunction("SMS-Gateway", "", "SendSMSEx", {"<phone no>", "<message>",false,true})

The first will just send a regular SMS, the second function give you a bit more functionality (the second two boolean parameters are for extended character set and "Flash" message).
