ASTERISK_CALL_STATUS

This custom addon is inspired for the use with Home Assistant as a sensor for monitoring the call status on the VoIP server Asterisk. The information is taken from the Asterisk Manager Interface (AMI) and publishes the call status to the MQTT server.

The result will be something like this caller -> 541 [voips.modulus.gr (Up), 541 (Up)]. The caller and the callee are both checked on the database of Asterisk and if found, they are replaced by the appropriate name.

AMI Config

This manager.conf configuration will allow connections from the localhost 127.0.0.1 and the host 192.168.1.5:

[general]
enabled = yes
webenabled = yes
displayconnects = yes   

port = 5038
bindaddr = 0.0.0.0


[admin]
secret = mysecret
deny = 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
permit = 127.0.0.1/255.255.255.255
permit = 192.168.1.5/255.255.255.255
read = system,call,log,verbose,command,agent,user,config,command,dtmf,reporting,cdr,dialplan,originate,message
write = system,call,log,verbose,command,agent,user,config,command,dtmf,reporting,cdr,dialplan,originate,message
writetimeout = 5000

Restart manager:

sudo asterisk -rvvv
module reload manager
manager reload
quit

Installation

Easiest install is via HACS:

HACS -> Explore & Add Repositories -> Asterisk Call Status

HACS does not "configure" the integration for you. You must go to Configuration > Integrations and add Asterisk Call Status after installing via HACS.

Old version

The older version that was using a dedicated service and was sending information via MQTT is not maintained anymore and it's stored on it's own branch mqtt.
