That's essentially it, in a nutshell. I was mulling over ways of this being done, and concluded the least resource-intensive method (for both you and the other parties who might want to do this) would be on a 'push' basis from PBXes itself, rather than a 'pull' from me, possibly getting the same data over and over again. It seemed a far more sensible option for PBXes just to call an URL when something worthwhile happened instead.
It need not be overly complicated either. I'm not sure how the backend functions your side, but given the data recorded in the Monitor, it all appears to be 'there', it's just a case of throwing it out in an http request.
Perhaps something along the lines of:
http://my.homeserver/voip.php?type=inbound&callerid=$caller_id&trunk=$trunk_name&destination=$destination
(and the other call monitor variables as available tacked on).
type could be 'internal', 'inbound', 'outbound', 'voicemail' and any of the other types of events that happen within.
If the call goes to voicemail and results in a message being left, perhaps another event can be fired off, detailing that fact.
If this is something you'd be willing to implement, I'd be more than happy to share my code to handle this information, if others would find it useful. It'd help me out no end.

Hi!
I'm in the process of planning out my home automation system, and within this is a "one screen overview" of the whole house such as electricity usage, security status, server health, internet connectivity, etc. etc. etc.
What I'd love is also to be able to see is a list of incoming/outgoing/missed calls, voicemails waiting and so on.
Would it be a possible option that when 'an event' happens within PBXes, e.g. an incoming call occurs, or an internal call is made, or an outbound call is made, or a call is missed, or a voicemail or a trunk drops out/comes back, PBXes calls an URL (GET/POST) and provides the details? I can then store this in an SQL database for local use.
This has other uses, but that's my idea. Would this be possible to do?? I'm sure commercial users would appreciate it for monitoring purposes and so on as well?
Or is there some other way of doing this already?

| Thread: RE: IVR to trigger HTTP GET |
|
|
I like this idea. It'd allow voice/telephone control of various internet services or home automation devices. Make the IVR listen for a 200 response code for playing a "Success" message, or any other for an "Unsuccessful" message, before hanging up or dropping back to the DR again?
Example:
"To turn on the lights, press 1. To turn off the lights, press 2. To open garage door, press 3." etc.
Pressing option 1 triggers an HTTP/S request (user configurable destination) such as:
http://my-home.someisp.com/home_automation?do=turn_lights_on
If the reply is 200, play "Successful" message, if the reply is some http-defined error code, play an "Unsuccessful" message.

Right now I have a (quarterly? Can't remember) SOHO subscription. I'd like to try Premium for a month. Can I just subscribe for a month then unsubscribe afterwards and go back to my SOHO subscription if it's unsuitable/not worth the added features for me?
It says you can jump back to free, it doesn't say what happens if you already 'subscribe' and upgrade a level

| Thread: RE: Deleted "if busy" / "unavailable" messages? |
|
|
I've recently experimented with digital receptionist - I like it a lot. But is there a way to delete a recording that has been set as either "if busy" or "if unavailable" within the digital receptionist menu?
I'd like to get back to the old "the person at extension nnnn is unavailable.. please leave a message at the tone", but can't seem to be able to do it for the extension I entered when initially setting up the digital receptionist.
I've tried turning voicemail on and off - no dice. I've tried deleting the extension and recreating - no dice. I'm now lost.
It's not a major issue if not, I think I've worked out a way around it, but it would be nice to be able to reset those 2 options to their original defaults.
Anyone have a clue?
