Could you build this?
Partial The iOS app and OpenWrt dashboard are vibe-codeable, and Home Assistant integration is standard. Controlling the USB 4G modem through AT commands and drivers involves hardware-specific work that the builder must debug.
What it would actually take: Building it requires OpenWrt packaging and kernel-level USB modem drivers, plus AT command handling for SMS, calls, and data usage across modem models. The rest is an iOS app and a Home Assistant integration. The hard part is reliable, hardware-specific modem control, which needs embedded Linux and telecom protocol knowledge and test hardware.
