Anyone tried to get incoming call notification?

General Discussion

Hey all,

I use a SIP-based solution at home for my phone calls (tried a few and been loving voip.ms), but I’d love to have a SIP client on my Vero 2 to pop up details on any incoming calls.

There are a few relevant Kodi addons that exist, although the only one currently supported for Kodi v17 seems to be MCUPhone, which doesn’t support the Vero architecture. http://kodi.wiki/view/Add-on:MCUPhone. Shame, since it looks to be exactly what I’m looking for and installed nicely.

I’m wondering if anyone else has had a shot at this… I’m wondering in particular if you could install an Asterisk client (http://www.asterisk.org/) that would be able to successfully push notifications on screen.

I’m tempted to give it a shot, but I thought I’d try the collective wisdom here in case it can save me some time.

You can do this from anywhere on your network by issuing an xbmc-send command with the appropriate function.

So you should be able to trigger actions directly from your Asterisk server.

A full list of available commands can be found here: http://kodi.wiki/view/List_of_built-in_functions

A sample command may be:

xbmc-send --host=IP.OF.OSMC.BOX --port=9777 --action="Notification(header,message[,time,image])"
