My network failover setup is kinda complicated, im using a Prepaid LTE here in Philippines and use it as my backup internet.

My aim is to get that prepaid LTE data to auto subscribe to prepaid mobile data when my primary internet is down. First its going to auto subscribe to 5 pesos / 500mb allocation for 1 hour, if for some reason the internet is still down for 1 hour its going to auto subscribe to 99pesos / 8gb allocation, luckily that data allocation also comes with unlimited service of your choice, I choose youtube because thats what we use most, so that 8gb of data is actually more than enough for the household to get going.

all of that made possible with automation using Home Assistant, and the LTE router I got is a Huawei B312-939 and is compatible with Huawei LTE integration, and all the auto subscription automation are done via Send SMS call service via Huawei LTE integration. I also use home assistant to basically stop docker services on my NAS that is going to potentially consume a lot of bandwidth (like the transmission) while our primary internet is down and also start them back as soon as the primary internet goes back online.

And to maintain this setup, all I need is to top-up my prepaid lte sim with 3000 pesos worth (around 60USD) of credit and that’s good for a year, there are times in a year that internet is reliable for the entire year so that 3000 pesos is untouched and will be used for the next year but I still need to top-up at least 5 pesos to get the SIM to not deactivated due to inactivity.
