Answer on "x" amount of rings?

[TrOjAn]

Hi all, does anyone know of a way to change the amount of rings before HSP answers the call via script / x10 command?

I have it set to 6 at the moment but would like to change it via an x10 command to 1 or 2 when I go out. At the moment I have to remote login to the HS PC and manually alter the ring value.

Yeap. Have a look at this function..

LINESetRings
Format

hsp.LINESetRings(line as integer, rings as integer)

Sets the number of rings to answer the call. This is the same as setting the number of rings in the modem tab in the options. This is useful for setting a "Do not disturb" mode where you want to dump all callers to the voice system. Set the number of rings to 2 so that you can gather caller id information before answering.

Parameters

line

The phone line to access

rings

The number of rings to set

Returns

Nothing

Example

Set the number of rings to answer to 4 on line 1:

hsp.LINESetRings 1,4
