Support multiple phone numbers allowed to send command or to send text #22

I think currently you can only send a text to one number at a time. It would be good if you could send a text to multiple people. It does not need to be MMS, just have the plugin call Twilo and send a copy of the message to each number in the 'To' line of the event action. (I think HS does this by delimiting with ';' and no spaces between e-mail addresses)

Separately it would be cool to be able to set a group of numbers who are authorized to send text commands to HomeSeer.

I like the idea of sending the message to multiple numbers. I actually have this need myself, but it was easier for me to just duplicate the event action in HS than it was to implement the feature inside the plugin 😄

I'll consider this once I port to the upcoming HS4 version.

You can sort of do this today, on a per-event basis. You can create an event that only responds to a specific phone number, but it would be cumbersome to write your event conditions to support multiple today in HS.

Thanks, let me know if you need any help with testing, etc.
