Fritz!Box as external PBX?
Hi. Is it possible to use a Fritz!Box as external PBX instead of the Asterisk add-on? Does the card select the extension to use for calls by checking the logged in user? Does it work from the app (HA companion) or only via the web interface?
Tks.
No, Fritz!Box doesn't support WSS, which the card needs.
The card does select the extension to register as, based on the logged in person. It can work on the companion app, but it depends on which codec you use. Mobile doesn't support some codecs. So I would try it on desktop first.
I am experimenting with a new tech, which doesn't require WSS. Not sure if i can get it working yet, but if i can, you could use any normal sip pbx.
That would be great. Tks.
OT: Could it be possible to give HA its own extension so that it can call? That could be useful for event notifications or even alarms.
If you use Asterisk you can use the asterisk integration to originate a call with a service call. Here is a example: https://tech7fox.github.io/sip-hass-docs/docs/integration/services/send_action
The new integration I'm working on will be able to create SIP devices that you can fully control trough automations. That will work with any PBX, but it's still WIP. Probably will take a week or 2 for the first beta version.
