[Asterisk-Users] Anyone parked in your Asterisk?

[Olle E. Johansson]

Based on a discussion on the IRC a long time ago (several days) I've
created a patch for 1.2 in the bug tracker that allows you to see if a
parking lot is occupied or not - provided you use the Flash panel or SIP
subscriptions.

What you do:
* Patch the 1.2 source with the patch in
  http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=5779

* Add an extension in your dialplan with a hint that uses the local
  channel (yes, the patch adds device state to the local channel)

  exten=> 100,hint,local/701 at parkedcalls

* Add a subscription to this extension in a SIP phone, like Eye-beam

* As soon as there's a call parked on that parking log (701), you will
  see it visually - how depends on the phone.

This hack possibly have other uses as well, feel free to explore.
If it doesn't work, tell me more in the bug tracker. If it does work,
tell me about it in the bug tracker.
