[asterisk-users] PJSIP device_state_busy_at, how does this work?

Yes, I had a shot at GROUP and GROUP_COUNT but somehow did not manage
to achieve efficient control of the channels.

I have hacked together an ugly solution.

I use an agi script for routing decision.

If the call originates from a Customer Device:
($tech,$device,$callid) = $chan_vars{'channel'} =~ m/([A-Za-z]*)\/(.*)?-(.*)/;

So $device contains the part I need to use in:

$AGI->get_variable("DEVICE_STATE(PJSIP/$device)");

If this returns BUSY, I send the call to HangUp(17)

On calls TO a Customer Device, I use the same $device to build the
destination URI: Dial(PJSIP/$destination@$device) and therefore I can
also query the state and figure out if I need to send the call to
HangUp(17).

One interesting observation. If the count of channels is not at the
limit (eg 2 of 2 => busy), so for example 3 out of 2 channels, the
status does not stay ab BUSY but goes back to IN_USE. Shouldn't that
still be busy? :-)
