Anyway to display caller ID in ImperiHome?

[email68]

I have hsphone which announces whose calling, but sometimes it would be nice to look at an ImperiHome screen and see a CID pop up. Or a list of the most recent calls.

Any ideas how to do this?

Hi Tim, you could populate a virtual device with the caller id info and display that. I think on Android there's away to create a popup, but not on ios. I use the Pushover plugin to get notified about calls to our home phone line. Their is also a script on the board that shows the last x callers in a virtual device which could probably be used with IH as well. I'll try to dig up the scripts.

That would be awesome. Thanks Al!

Hi Tim,

Here's a script that populates two virtual devices, one with the last caller's name and one with the last caller's phone number. Save the script in your Scripts folder without the .txt extension. The reference IDs are hard-coded about 2/3 of the way down, so you would need to replace those with the reference IDs of your own virtual devices.

Here's how to set up the event:

PS I need to do some clean-up on the last 10 callers script and will post that later this week.
