[asterisk-users] Re: Re: Set hint status from dialplan?

[Steven]

I guess the goal is to be able to give "any" (not just device or channel related) to a SIP subscription.

I can see many concepts that could use this:
Day/night mode.
Flash a light when nagios gets a red alarm.
Non phone related presence status. (IM, etc.)

I do not think that anyone would want to fake out real channel/device status.
The hint table exists, we just need a way to write and read it from the dialplan. (and prolly manager too)

Curious... I see Local/ has a devicestate, and I've never heard of a
"Feature/" channel type before...  :-)

So I imagine I could use Local/701 at parkedcalls to see parking slot
state, but nothing for arbitrary channels such as what Lacy is showing.
Is that correct?
