Not sure if we have any Trixbox (voip) users here, but if so I coded a small 'script' to toggle device statuses of X10 units.

It's all done with the "tenHsServer" in combination of Homeseer, so this is a must!

When I dial *00 the Trixbox will ask for a two digit "house code".
After entering it, it will toggle the unit from on to off, or off to on. (you can enter it like 01 or 1 for housecode 1)

You will still need to set two things in the script.
(1) the URL / IP of your Homeseer server (in my case http://10.0.0.50)
(2) the house lettercode (in my case K)

Enter the code in the extensions_custom.conf under the [from-internal-custom] part.

Code: Select all

; start Domotica
exten => *00,1,Answer
exten => *00,n,Wait(1)
exten => *00,n,Playback(welcome)
exten => *00,n,Playback(please-enter-the&digits/2&digit&system&number)
exten => *00,n,Read(X10,beep,2)
exten => *00,n,Playback(one-moment-please)
exten => *00,n,StartMusicOnHold()
; // make sure your set the correct URL and house lettercode (K)
exten => *00,n,System(/usr/bin/curl -s "<b>http://10.0.0.50</b>/tenHsServer/tenHsServer.aspx?t=ab&f=ToggleDevice&d=<b>K</b>${X10}")
; make sure your set the correct URL and house lettercode (K) //
exten => *00,n,StopMusicOnHold()
exten => *00,n,SayDigits(${X10})
exten => *00,n,Playback(ha/set)
exten => *00,n,Wait(1)
exten => *00,n,Playback(goodbye)
exten => *00,n,Hangup
; End Domotica

or from outside, that you can also switch it. in my case i would find this handy to turn the router for instance on / off if your not at home and it seems locked up or something. Also note that if you want to use it from outside, just make a menu where it asks for your 4 digit code. Then if wrong pincode, just hangup. I think there are some examples for it.

i know rdnzl uses asterisk (or used too) some others aswell, i still have it at home (needs tweaking once i'am in my house) but still works.

btw, for playback, is that live created? if so with what?

Erik,

To make it work from the outside, you will need to setup an IVR (Digital Receptionist) with something like press 1 for domotica (and point it to the script), press 2 for voicemail etc. etc.
You will need to do this withing the Trixbox admin.
It can not be done with a simple script.

I'll have a look an see if a pincode can be added to the script.

re: playback
They are pre recorded .wav / .gsm files that come with Trixbox

ah, well i have a girl that talks for me.. (cepstral) makes it on the fly, i also creating a complete menu at some point, where you can choose different options (ask for weather, record a message, listen to music etc) all with options like 1,2,3,4 etc.. not that hard to do.

Dont like the trixbox though, since i would have to work with a distritbution they supply. Just installed asterisk on debian and works like a charm (although i did recompile it instead of a .deb package) since i had some strange hickups with my cisco phone. My cisco phone is ideal for conference call on speaker (7960 model)

The only reason that I use Trixbox is the web interface.
I installed it some time ago on the Eee box, and till now it's working great.

I might get a 3rd Eee box to play with, and if so, install asterisk the way it should be done (your way).

the only reason why i checked that (those images) was because of the web interfaces, i had most installed but most just didn't do anything i want. In the end just create a correct config file, after that you wont use it anymore anyway.. so no need for it. See (http://wiki.binkey.nl/Asterisk) for my installation. Just simple..
