Can I use SIMCOM A7672S + ESP32 to make calls/SMS remotely via SSH?
I’m planning to buy an Edgehax SIMCOM A7672S + ESP32 board and had a random idea.
Can I hook it up to my home server, then SSH into that server from another device and use the SIM to send/receive SMS and maybe even make calls?
Rough idea: ESP32 talks to the SIM module using AT commands, exposes something over WiFi, and my server just sends commands to it. Then I control everything remotely through SSH.
SMS seems simple enough, but I’m not sure how calls would work. How do you even deal with audio in a setup like this?
Also wondering if I’m overthinking it and should just connect the SIM module directly to the server instead of going through the ESP32.
Has anyone tried something like this? Or is this a dumb approach?
