Hi
I was totally lost when setting up the SMS integration: The reason was the lack of information as to what is meant when asking for "Device" and how to obtain that information.
It would be great if that information could be added:
The "device" is the Linux device like /dev/ttyUSB0 which you find by opening the terminal, enter "login" and then "ls -l /dev/tty"
You will see a large list of devices, but a few will be marked "dialout" One of them will be your SMS device. If you have more devices (like a Zigbee dongle) you can go to Settings => System => Hardware, click "All hardware" and scroll down to the TYY region. Here you can inspect the devices you suspect might be the SMS modem and identify it.
Now enter "/dev/ttyUSB0" (if that is your device name) and set the baud rate to 9600.
