[asterisk-dev] Synchronize DND with as-feature-event

[Kai Hoerner]

Hi Benny,

you're right, directly synchronizing snom BLFs from dialplan is not part 
of the asterisk feature list.
(and will probably never become a part of it, since its not a standard i 
believe)


if you want to do it that way, please try the following snippet:

exten => s,1,SIPAddHeader(Content-Type: application/x-buttons)
exten => s,n,SendText(${YOUR_BLF_VALUES})

i'm not 100% sure if it works, since i have not tested it. hopefully 
this will generate a SIP MESSAGE with your desired content and Content-Type.


another approach worth a suggestion is using the "Custom" hints for the 
BLF state:

your snom phone SUBSCRIBES to extension "*DND*77" for example, where 77 
is your SIP peer name.
In the matching extension ("*DND*XX) you toggle DND internally for XX 
and use DEVICE_STATE() to set the Custom Hint to the matching state.
Dont forget to properly define the matching hints for these custom states.


That way round IMHO is the more sane solution, since all logic should be 
in dialplan.
Fact is, this wont work only for snom and polycom, but a lot of other 
vendors as well. (including the cheap grandstream phones)
