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.
