Re: [Asterisk-Users] Doorbells Door Intercoms
The combination of a cheap ATA and standard doorphone would seem easier (and maybe cheaper). For door phone hardware check out: http://www.vikingelectronics.com/ Jim James H.

Or perhaps, If I find a Cisco 7940 with a damaged case on eBay, I can rip it apart, and then use the SIP/SCCP Intercom feature on that phone only?! Does this sound sensible/achievable?!

There are 'regular' doorphones that have one button, which toggles on-/offhook. If you combine this with a Cisco ATA186 that will automatically dial a number (dialplan on the cisco) or which goes into an immediate connect (configuration on asterisk) you can do pretty much anything oyu want. However, those doorphones are often relatively expensive... The same can be done with any analog phone, but the interface will be sucky (have to pick up the phone, dialpad which is useless, etc.) Florian ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Hi, new context for door phone immediate rather than dialtone default extension is whatever you want it to call / do to mine I added the twist of rolling into voicemail if I don't answer so whoever was at the door can leave me a message. I used a cheap analog phone on my channel bank. dialpad on the phone is just ignored. most people still insist on ringing the doorbell though, but at night, I call out to the doorphone to see who is there if I am not expecting anyone. (the phone can be called as well as call) Does anybody know of a VoIP compatible doorbell or door intercom unit?
