OK....
Anyways... You could still use a Grandstream ATA and just have your
doorbell switch actually be the hook switch for the line, use the h
extension to continue ringing phones, send an SMS, jabber message or
whatever. Just set the auto dial in the ATA.
I got a grandstream on order, so I'll try that out.
Or you could just use a regular old doorbell or one of the wireless
units sold at Radio Shack, Sears, Wal-Mart, and everywhere. It pains me
to say it, but not everything needs to integrate with Asterisk.
Sometimes a doorbell should just be a doorbell, why make things more
complicated than they need to be?
I currently do have a good ole doorbell, and a $10-direct-from-hong-kong
wireless doorbell, with the transmitter triggered by the existing
solenoid via reed-switch. However, we're finishing the walk-up attic
this year, moving my office up on the third floor, so an intercom is in
order. In that context it makes perfect sense to use the existing phone
system and integrate the doorbell, wouldn't you agree?
