VonageInfo Dashboard Scraper

This is the discussion thread for the VonageInfo Dashboard Scraper script available here.

Enjoy,

I assume if your settings.ini does not have the scriptingreferences line, then should we add it?

[Matrix]

You are correct, you'll need to add the ScriptingReferences line like this:

ScriptingReferences=System.Web;System.Web.dll,System.Data;System.Data.dll 

Just make sure it is somewhere under the "[Settings]" area and not one of the other areas like "[Display]" or "[ConfigFiles]".

download voicemail wavs

would it be possible to configure the script to download the voicemails to a location on the local hard drive?

[Matrix]

It certainly seems like it should be possible to download voicemails, I'd have to investigate it. The script may need some smarts to track which voicemails have already been grabbed. It may be preferable to set up the e-mail functionality on the Vonage site and send them to your HomeSeer server directly.

I'll investigate the available options and see what I can come up with. I don't currently use the voicemail features on the site so it may take a little while to plan in time to "test" them out here.

yes downloading would be awesome.

I already send the voicemails to my email account as wav attachments but in order to get the wav attachment out of the email and onto the whole house audio system for playback, I have to use a 3rd party program to extract the wav filei out and dump it to c:\voicemails.

I think if your code looks for the 'new" jpg/etc that indicates it's a new voicemail and attempts to grab that link location and dump to c:\voicemails that would work.

once we get the voicemails in a local drive location we can simply create playlist for the voicemails to play back the vonage voicemails over the whole house audio.

hs.speak Welcome home, while you where out today you received voice mail. then i can run though c:\voicemails.

Do you have a script that does that?

[darren-mc]

Also has anyone got this to work for UK accounts?

I changed the base URL to https://secure.vonage.co.uk/vonageuk-web/

but I am getting a

GetPage::Error while retrieving web page: The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found.

error. All the URL's apart from the base URL seem to the same...

Anyone any ideas?

Do you have a script that does that?

FYI, My POP3 email package will download and decode attachments. With a small amount of scripting, attachments can be copied to any directory on your PC.

[proudx]

no, I have not written a script yet, but in non script mode it can be done.

darren-mc,

I'm attaching a debug version with enhanced error reporting in the GetPage function. I've already updated it to use the UK site in the base url. This should give us some clues to get to the bottom of this.

Please post the log snippet after running it and be sure to remove any personal info as there might be your login and password in the URLs that get dumped out.

Darren,

That did help... I found the problem. Try out this version and let me know if it works out.

If it does work and you want to continue to use it without the debugging lines filling up your log, just change the DebugLevel to equal 0 (zero) in the script.
