I'm sending a short JSON-formatted command to my IoT device, but SMS API removes curly brackets "{}" from the message.
When the device sends JSON-formatted SMS - the curly brackets go through.
The only way for me to send curly brackets is to urlencode() the string, but that makes it much longer.
How do I allow curly brackets in MT SMS?
What is MT SMS and MO SMS?
As long as your text message is a string, it will arrive as a string with "{}"
MT means mobile-terminated, so when I send sms from RC API To my phone - I lose brackets, but if I send sms From my phone to RC API - brackets go through. same code works fine with Jasper/Cisco, but not with RC
It must be your SMS app on the phone or your carrier restriction which strip of the brackets.
Here is the screenshot of what I send from RC API to my cell number.
And this is the code where I call to send the message
async function send_sms(fromNumber){
try{
var resp = await platform.post('/restapi/v1.0/account/~/extension/~/sms', {
from: {phoneNumber: fromNumber},
to: [{phoneNumber: RECIPIENT}],
text: '{"key":"value", "array":[{"key1":"value1","key2":1},{"key1":"value1","key2":1}]}'
})
var jsonObj = await resp.json()
console.log("SMS sent. Message status: " + jsonObj.messageStatu
}catch(e){
console.log(e.message)
}
