Hello, is there some way to make Asterisk light up a certain light on an IP-phone ? Like MWI, the message waiting indicator can light up if there is voicemail. Could this light, or even other lights (like BLF-buttons) be used to give a visual notification to the user ? For example : if a certain value is set in the Mysql-DB and Asterisk reads out this value, can Asterisk react upon it inside the dialplan to make a light lit up ? 2nd example : if a certain extension is called, can we perform inside the dialplan an action that makes a light lit up on a Snom or Yealink IP-phone ? I don't know if all this is at all possible, but it doesn't harm asking I guess... If BLF works, then maybe more things are possible in the same way. Just thinking outside the box here. Kind regards, Jonas. [Danny Nicholas] The answer is highly dependent on flavor of Asterisk and phone. In my experience, Asterisk can generally only light up the MWI light on any applicable phone. I have Polycom 501 phones and I can make MWI light up by leaving a message for that phone or my generic extension 108. If I zap the message, the light goes off. So in either of your examples, I could call an AGI to turn the light on or off. As I read, SNOM are pretty much equivalent to Polycoms regarding MWI functionality, don't know about Yealink.
