Re: [Astlinux-users] Doorbell Asterisk Project
there are also some commercial door box products available that will
allow voice communication with the door box.
Some may even allow an electric lock to be triggered through a DTMF tone
pair.
All will require an ATA, but not much in the way of construction experience.
Google will find some
Viking and Mike Sandman both have different products.
Some require an FXS, some an FXO ATA
Some even incorporate a camera

Is this your first soldering iron, electronics project? If so, I'd
advise finding a friend that has some experience to help.
I have a few more questions tough ...
Is my understanding correct that hight-level concept of this is:
- A persion presses the doorbell
- The doorbell will dial via the ATA towards the Asterisk server
- The Asterisk server is doing a action e.g. send SMS, create
voicemail, transfer call to your mobile etc. etc.
Is this correct?
The documentation shows how an asterisk extension is dialed via the
ATA's 'hotline' feature. The extension number (your choice) is
defined in your ATA configuration and your extensions.conf...
; Doorbell Ring Example
exten => 1179,1,Answer
exten => 1179,n,SIPAddHeader(Alert-Info: Doorbell)
exten => 1179,n,DIAL(${DOORBELLPHONES},8)
exten => 1179,n,Hangup
This will occur for a few seconds (4 to 8).
Before you begin any construction, create the extensions.conf entry
and your intended dialplan function, then test by dialing that
extension for 4-8 seconds and then hangup.
When that works as you expect, configure the ATA, and test by
connecting an old POTS phone to the ATA, lift the handset for 4-8
seconds and hangup.
Lastly, when the tests work as you expect, you can proceed to the
electronics portion.

No, an ATA is required.
Status Report: The project is working well for me, without any further
tweaking, more than a year later.

Re: [Astlinux-users] Doorbell Asterisk Project
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 thing as the doorbell is out on an iron fence/gate. I'd like to have some sort of unique ring pattern to indicate the doorbell, even if the phone can doesn't display the extension ID for the incoming call.

The Caller*ID is for inbound calls only and displays on the screen, I actually disable dial-tone from the SAT receiver to astlinux so there is no outbound.

Re: [Astlinux-users] Doorbell Asterisk Project
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 voicemail via speakerphone if there were any new voicemails when I walked into the room. Using the outgoing spool eliminates the SIP requirement from the device. You just need a process that monitors the IO, whether that be through RS-232, or whatever. The biggest obstacle (for me) is getting that monitoring application into the Astlinux build. http://www.jabberwocky.com/software/xtend/ http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+auto-dial+out http://www.sprg.net/2006/asterisk-debian-x10-auto-dial-voicemail Regards, Michael On 2/29/08, Mark Phillips wrote: > What we need is a direct ethernet device that can do this.

Re: [Astlinux-users] Doorbell Asterisk Project
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 sure how much of a market there would be for it though. Lonnie, contact me off list. I have an idea!!

[Astlinux-users] Doorbell Asterisk Project
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 not your thing, stop reading any further. This project has applications in both the home and office, ex. logging when your home doorbell is pressed while you are away, or ringing an office manager's phone when the rear loading dock doorbell is pressed. A unique ringtone is useful in this situation, ex. the SPA-942 allows for a user defined "DoorBell" ringtone to be downloaded. Description: Circuit starts with a traditional doorbell chime installation, but when the doorbell is pressed, instead of ringing a local chime/bell, a local phone FXS port is taken Off-Hook for about 5 seconds. When properly configured, this Off-Hook signal can ring phones, send email, pager, etc. via asterisk. A SIP ATA is used to automatically dial a local extension, using a hotline feature in its dial plan. All previously installed doorbell chimes were disconnected, and the input of this circuit is placed in parallel with the previous chimes (s). The circuit should also operate with a chime left in parallel, in such case resister R1 is probably not needed, but this configuration has not been tested, and can vary on the type of chime.
