I've had IVR interactions between xAP and asterisk working nicely in the
past, in the pre-broadband days, although now I find a remote web interface
quicker and easier. What you describe should be doable just with plain old
asterisk, you can integrate to your existing PBX or you might find it
easie=
r
to be fully independent and use VOIP numbers for the incoming calls to your
system, in which case it would stand alone.
Executing commands (press 1 to turn the lights on etc) in xAP is trivial
from an IVR script - you can invoke some PERL to build and publish the
message as required, and there are plenty of generic (non-xAP) examples on
voip-info.org to get you started.
If you want to be able to announce the current status of devices (e.g. the
temperature at location x is y degrees) you will almost certainly need a
cache to record the last known state broadcast by a device. Your script
wil=
l
then query the cache status to give the last known value. (You can find one
implementation of a cache on my web page).
Incidentally, once you have done the IVR implementation, adding a web
facin=
g
capability on top is also really easy as most of the hard work has already
been done!
I will try and write up some more detailed instructions, although I'm a bit
time-constrained over the next couple of weeks, so please bear with me.
