HomeSeer Device for last Caller Attribute

[franklnc]

Ultra,

It would be great to have this feature added.
I use scripts that handle call management and have never been able to extract this information directly.

Thanks
Frank

There are currently 6 possible attribute values (of which 0 to 6 could be selected). What exactly would I display for the HomeSeer device?

That is a great point Ultra, let me get the plugin loaded up (My modem arrives tomorrow) and see what it shows and such and I will provide better feedback on this.

I honestly just started reading on this plugin today and saw these couple of threads that interested me.

Hey Ultra,

I was hoping for a single homeseer device that would display if the incoming call was tagged as Block, Telemarketer, Announce, Business, Family, Friends or Null Value (or not tagged by a phone book entry, ie "not set".) It is the "null value" that is difficult to work with using event triggers.

Sorry Frank, I was not trying to ignore you. I just didn't know how to implement what you were requesting. I'll add a "Last Caller Attribute" HomeSeer device as you are requesting. The value will be the underlying binary caller attribute flag and the string will be a comma separated list of values. You'll need to either do a string comparison or binary math to determine if a particular attribute is present.

Thanks. I have a lot of your plugins and normally you are very responsive... probably one of the best when it comes to 3rd Party Plug-Ins. I may not have explained what I was wishing for clearly, but I should be able to work with the device code a lot easier using scripts than the events let me. It didn't register with my way of thinking that more than one checkbox could be selected. Thanks.... I will play with it this weekend

I found and fixed the issue you reported with the attributes assoicated with the UltraCID Incoming Call trigger. I also added the Caller Attribute device as requested. I am posting the update now. Please let me know if you works as expected.

Excellent. The Caller Attribute device works great for what I'm trying to do. I had to modify my script a little to accommodate the multiple values.... that never occurred to me. It took a couple of cups of coffee to figure out the logic I needed to program. Thanks again!
