Communicate with KaiOS webapp

[hagen]

I'm trying to read and write SMS on my PC, or connect bridge SMS to Matrix in the future. Building your own SMS app is not too hard thanks to the Mobile Messaging API [1]. However, I wonder how I best setup the connection to my PC. Can I somehow communicate over USB/adb, or is it smarter to start a webserver on my PC and let my phone connect over HTTP? Any good ideas?

I use this script:

in my cli to write/send sms from the desktop->phone->send sms

Hi perry,

I successfully tried this before, but I wasn't happy that sent sms are not visible in the sms app and also I can't see the previous sms on my PC. So I'm trying to build a separate KaiOS app that mediates between the Mobile Messaging API, which perfectly integrates with the system's sms app, and a PC/Server. So my question aims on sending messages from inside an app
over USB or Network. I think having a local webserver and starting a Websockets connection from the app will be the best solution, since I didn't find anything considering USB.

how about doing something like my sms templater app? it uses a json file as sources and then sends it with the sms api (the app is very old and I should write it again better)
