Signals incoming and outgoing calls using the call monitor facility in Fritz!Box devices via HomeKit
npm install homebridge-callmonitorAccessories created by this platform provide a contact sensor, which is opened for every
incoming or outgoing call. A use for this could be to automatically turn down the volume
of played back music to be able to recognize the ringing phone.
Integrates with HomeKit via Homebridge.
I have trouble hearing in noisy environments and sometimes fail to notice that my phone
rings. I don't think I'm alone with this.
I configured this plugin to turn down any music that might be playing to enable me to
notice that the phone rings. Another aspect is that the music playback remains turned down
while I am on the phone and is raised as soon as I hang up.
This callmonitor plugin exposes two contact sensors - one for incoming calls and one
for outgoing calls. These enable the separate handling by call direction and the application
of different rules.
After Homebridge has been installed:
``sudo npm install -g homebridge-callmonitor`
`json`
{
"bridge": {
...
},
"platforms": [
{
"platform": "CallMonitor",
"devices": [
{
"name": "AVM Fritz!Box 7490",
"address": "192.168.178.1",
"port": "1012",
"outgoingName": "Ausgehender Anruf",
"incomingName": "Eingehender Anruf"
}
]
}
]
}
The platform can connect to any number of devices, which support the call monitor protocol supported by AVM Fritz!Box devices. I've tested it with an AVM Fritz!Box 7490, other models may work as well. If you want to report a different
device as working, please file an issue.
A device is configured by specifying the following:
| Attributes | Usage |
|------------|-------|
| name | The name of the device. Must be specified. |
| address | The IPv4 address of the AVM Fritz device. If no address is specified, the accessory will not be created. |
| port | The port where the Fritz device reports call statistic data. This default is 1012. |
| incomingName | The name of the contact sensor service for incoming calls. If not specified this is the name of the device with - incoming appended. |- outgoing
| outgoingName | The name of the contact sensor service for outgoing calls. If not specified this is the name of the device with appended. |
Each bot will expose two services:
* Accessory Information Service
* Contact Sensor Service for incoming calls
* Contact Sensor Service for outgoing calls
This platform and the bots it drives have been verified to work with the following apps on iOS 11
* Elgato Eve
* Home
* AVM Fritz!Box 7490
Other devices not listed here may work. If you have another device that works, please report
it via a GitHub issue.
You need to enable the call monitor on most devices. For AVM Fritz!Box devices this can be done by dialing #965 on a connected phone. To disable the call monitor dial #964`.
If you use this and like it - please leave a note by staring this package here or on GitHub.
If you use it and have a problem, file an issue at GitHub - I'll try to help.
If you tried this, but don't like it: tell me about it in an issue too. I'll try my best
to address these in my spare time.
If you fork this, go ahead - I'll accept pull requests for enhancements.
