I've seen an article where you have interfaced with a Cisco Voip Phone... Stumbled across the above door bell, which has seemles integration with standard gigaset phones e.g. S450 IP, which looks like a pretty good IP phone. It appears that someone is using this via an asterisk control for light control type activity, but I was wondering if anyone has ventured anyfuther such that these phone types can have the same control as the Cisco example you have shown?

The HC450 is the door bell. 

I personally have the Gigaset C455IP & multiple handsets in two locations, and have had a number of previous generations of Gigaset, so have been investigating integration with this device already, but haven't concluded what's the right thing to do, yet.

It'd be wonderful if these devices already supported HTTP-type callout on significant events, like ring & answer & on-hook, but they don't! Siemens publish a lot of the source code to these bases, because they're based on GPL'ed Open Source, but that'd be quite a commitment for H2M8, at this stage. So I'm posting these as suggestions to Siemens, awaiting their response.

But also, these devices support the Jabber Instant Messaging protocol, so it should be possible to do a lot of integration through such an Instant Messaging interface. Again, this would be rather a commitment from H2M8 at this stage, but it's something worth investigating as part of our general investigation into Instant Messaging interfaces.

Please update us all if you find anything that'd work already, with very little new coding! I'll be the first to use it!

II am at a very early stage with this.... wanting to put voip system in and make calls from wired handset and possibly also cordless device.

 

Any recommendations re which system (asterix?) and handsets welcomed.

A further area of query for me is how to integrate with door entry system - Im looking at a £200 system ,,,, interested in feedback - http://www.spicecommunications.co.uk/shop/Door_Entry_Systems.htm
