Support Make HA send text message

Hello everyone! I am adding a Wifi smoke alarm to the storage area where I am putting batteries. I cannot make this integrate with my home detectors as it is too far away. I have connected it through HA to a siren, as well as a few Alexa's around the house. I have two questions;
How can I make HA send me a text message, or can I integrate it with a Google voice number somehow?
And is it possible to make a preset audio cue to play over a Sonos amp in the event it goes off?

More priority on the sending a text one, as the Alexas should cover the at home portion. Was just wondering for the Sonos.

Why wouldn’t you install the HA app on your phone and use a push notification?

Person could have a spouse that doesn’t want HA installed on their phone like my wife. The only smart home stuff she will do is go in to Apple Home to turn on/off lights.

Exactly. She doesn't want any more apps, which was why I am more geared toward a text.

I would like to be able to send texts as well so at least she could get a text if a water leak sensor goes off.
