Room Monitor

Asterisk Asterisk General

Hello .

Trying to evolve my asterisk box. We are new parentes and we want to use asterisk as a monitor in our baby room . Is this possible ? Hoa can I manage it ? We have asterisk box and spa941 phones.

Thank you in advance .

Do the spa941 support auto answer by notify messages ?

if so set a code up that sends teh notify to cause the phone to auto answer and away you go.

You could even got to the bar and just ring back a few times to check if they are ok ;0)

PS only joking about the last bit

This is actually a great idea and likely a market for it…but I don’t know how to do it either :smile:

I found a solution but I don’t know if this is OK .

I created a conference room . I have 2 spa942 phones . In the Phone tab I made the next setup:

Baby Room Phone
Line Key 4
Extension:Disable Short Name:Baby Room
Share Call Appearance: Shared
Extended Function:fnc=sd;sub=702@$PROXY;ext=702@$PROXY

Parent’s Room
Line Key 4
Extension:Disable Short Name:Baby Room
Share Call Appearance: Shared
Extended Function:fnc=sd;sub=701@$PROXY;ext=701@$PROXY

extensions.conf
exten => 701,1,SetMusicOnHold(baby)
exten => 701,2,Meetme(701,1tM)
exten => 702,1,SetMusicOnHold(baby)
exten => 702,2,Meetme(701,1mM)

in /var/lib/asterisk/mohmp3 I created a directory called baby and in there I copied a Lullaby .

In musiconhold.conf
[baby]
mode=files
directory=/var/lib/asterisk/mohmp3/baby

in order my baby hear a lullaby until we get our phone in baby monitor mode .

So this is my solution . Any other idea ?

With IVR system people can receive up-to-date account information instantly and easily without having to speak directly to a person. so
How IVR can help him in this situation ?

Sheesh! Why make it so complicated?

If this is a Linksys/Cisco SPA9x1/9x2/50x, etc.:

exten => 400,1,SIPAddHeader(Call-Info:; answer-after=0)
exten => 400,n,Dial(SIP/babyroom-phone)
exten => 400,n,Hangup()

And then just mute your phone.
