Dear, I was looking for a not too expensive solution to make my doorbell asterisk compatible. This means that the actions are as follows: - Someone presses the doorbell - The doorbell is dialing towards the Asterisk server - The Asterisk server will execute a action based on the dialplan (send

Lonnie, Brilliant timing. I'm just about to dive into some Astlinux tinkering and our doorbell is broken. Can you think of some way of ensuring that the doorbell does something mroe than just ring the phones? Do you use this in conjunction with a SIP door phone? I don't have a place for such as t

You don't even need a SIP device. I had Xtend running on an Asterisk server monitoring X10 devices. When certain events occurred (like motion detected) it would copy a call file to spool/asterisk/outgoing and then the dial plan would do whatever with it. In my case it was auto-connecting me to voi

What we need is a direct ethernet device that can do this. Perhaps something similar to Lonnie's design but with an AVR/PIC that will receive the contact closure and then fire a SIP message to the proxy. It would cost much the same as an ATA but would be a single device rather than 2 devices. Not

This slightly off topic for this list, but I think it might be of interest to the AstLinux readers. This "Doorbell Asterisk Project" uses about $20 of electronics components from Radio Shack to ring phones, send email, pager, etc via asterisk. If using a soldering iron and a multi-meter are
