This automation allows you to transform a text in an audio file, make a VoIP call to a SIP url and play them to any given phonenumber.
Prerequisites
1.) Home Assistantion Installation
2.) HA AddOn hassio-addons/dss_voip at master · sdesalve/hassio-addons
3.) Fritz Box
Installation
The installation of this add-on is pretty straightforward and not different in comparison to installing any other Hass.io add-on.
- Add the Hass.io add-ons repository (https://github.com/sdesalve/hassio-addons) to your Hass.io instance.
- Install the “DSS VoIP Notifier” add-on.
- Configure at least the
caller_id_uri,username, andpasswordoptions. - Start the “DSS VoIP Notifier” add-on.
- Check the logs of the “DSS VoIP Notifier” add-on to see if everything went well. Addons will wait to be invoked from an
automation/script.
Configuration
Note: Remember to restart the add-on when the configuration is changed.
DSS VoIP Notifier add-on configuration:
A Fritz!Box with VoIP PBX
sip_parameters:
caller_id_uri: 'sip:username@fritz.box:5060'
realm: '*'
username: 'username'
password: 'password'
pjsua_custom_options: '--ip-addr=IP_ADDRESS'
Note: call_sip_uri in Hass.io service call must end with @fritz.box:5060. An example of URL: "sip:+473334455667@fritz.box:5060".
Please note that "pjsua_custom_options": "--ip-addr=RASPBERRY_IP_ADDRESS" is mandatory and you need to replace IP_ADDRESS with your HASSIO IP Address
Note: This is just an example, don’t copy and paste it! Create your own!
Fritzbox configuration
Create an IP-Telephone within the FritzBox -> Telefoniegeräte -> IP-Telefon and select a name for display and specify the number being used for external calls. Then create the Login Details in the Anmeldedaten Tab.
