Device Management
Add, configure, and monitor your SMS devices.
Viewing devices
Go to the Dashboard → Devices to see all registered devices.
Each device shows:
- Status - Online, offline, or error
- Phone number - The SIM card number
- Messages sent - Total count
- Last seen - When the device last connected
Device settings
Click on a device to configure:
- Name - Friendly name for the device
- Priority - Higher priority devices are used first
- Rate limit - Max messages per minute
- Enabled - Toggle device on/off
Load balancing
When multiple devices are available, Vendel distributes messages using round-robin across all connected devices (Android phones with an active push token and USB modems).
API endpoints
Devices are managed through the PocketBase collections API (sms_devices collection):
List devices
GET /api/collections/sms_devices/records Get device
GET /api/collections/sms_devices/records/:id Update device
PATCH /api/collections/sms_devices/records/:id All device endpoints require JWT authentication. On device creation, a unique API key (prefixed dk_) is auto-generated and returned in the response — it is hidden on subsequent reads.
