SMS

community

Plain-old SMS via Twilio. Text a number, talk to Pi. Useful where messengers don't reach.

SMS is the lowest-common-denominator channel. openclawOS supports it via Twilio (and a few alternatives). Useful when your audience can’t or won’t install another app.

Setup

  1. Buy a Twilio number.
  2. Drop Twilio credentials into the Control UI.
  3. Set the SMS webhook to your Gateway’s public URL.
  4. Text the number; Pi replies.

Cost

SMS isn’t free — Twilio charges per message. Worth it for accessibility use cases where every other channel is out of reach.

Run SMS through your own Pi.

Install openclawOS, pair this channel, message your agent. The whole loop is under five minutes.
