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.
BLF lights can be manipulated with Hints and the DEVSTATE function to
set custom device states. This way you can have a BLF light react to
any event you want.
This means that extensions/hints need to be defined to be able to
control a BLF-light that monitors this extension ?
I agree that this gives some control over a light/button on an IP-phone.
The MWI can be manipulated in several ways. Last week someone asked
this question and got several answers.
You don't perhaps have a link to the discussion ? I don't really follow
this list constantly so I've certainly missed out on this subject.
Kind regards,
Jonas.
