SIM800L, on sms received trigger not working

[satekp]

Hi I am trying to use sim800l esphome component to automate my gate . Esphome config and logs as follows . Sms send action is working well, but onsms received trigger not working as expected, though the log (verbose dot debug) shows the incoming SMS text and the sender number every time i send SMS. please see my esphome config ,logs and advice..

ESPHOME config

Enable logging

logger: level: VERBOSE

Enable Home Assistant API

api: password: "xxxxx123" services:

• service: send_sms variables: recipient: string message: string then:
  • sim800l.send_sms: recipient: !lambda 'return recipient;' message: !lambda 'return message;'

uart: baud_rate: 9600 tx_pin: 17 rx_pin: 16

sim800l: on_sms_received:

• logger.log: format: "Received '%s' from %s" args: [ 'message.c_str()', 'sender.c_str()' ]
• lambda: |- id(received_sms_from).publish_state(sender); id(received_sms_body).publish_state(message);

• if: condition:

     text_sensor.state:
       id: received_sms_body
       state: "Hello open"
  then:
    switch.turn_on: out_lt3

May be te state is not updated properly there.

Try moving the if condition into the on_value trigger of the text sensor

Another option will be using a lambda using the passed in args

Tried Your suggestions. giving compiling errors. Is any thing wrong in sim800l.h that prevent parsing the SMS received text data....?

[glmnet]

Paste your code and errors

Since text sensor value is not updating how can we use "on_value" trigger .?
