I had the bright idea to set up a "virtual extension" that would just ring, virtually. Then we could use call pickup to snag the call at an extension and be able to open the door. Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to get that to work. Wait(30) and Answer(30000) don't seem to allow call pickup to snag the extension. Any suggestions?
Sure, try something like this:

[doorcom]
exten => s,1,Dial(Local/ringforever)

[ringforever]
exten => s,1,Wait(60)
exten => s,n,Playback(sorry-nobody-wants-to-let-you-in)
exten => s,n,Hangup


To answer just use call pickup. As long as everything is SIP you should be just fine (I think I read somewhere that IAX doesn't have call pick up).

Not sure if the Local/ringforever is written quite right, but you get the idea here.

Good luck,
