SIP Connector
From HomeSeer
The SIP Connector plugin is a bit like the HomeSeer phone plugin. Instead of using an analog telephone line and a voice modem, you need a SIP voice over IP account, and the telephone calls are flowing through your broadband internet access.
With the SIP plugin and a SIP account, your Homeseer computer can place and answer calls, can play and record wav files, speak and recognize DTMF tones... but you don't need any voice or analog modem !
You can build all kinds of interactive menus using the HomeSeer VB.NET scripting engine, and interact with HomeSeer devices the way you like. The sip_home_control.vb script shows how to turn ON/OFF HomeSeer devices, or get HomeSeer device status.
