Hi,
Would anyone be interested in a caller-id plug-in that will work with any TAPI compliant modem?
I have already developed the YACSeer caller-id plug-in which gets caller ID data from a freeware program called YAC but I now know how to get the caller-id data directly from the modem. I have some code working and would just need to do some work to pull it all together to make the new plug-in.
The plug-in would have the following features:
- Detect caller-id data using a TAPI compliant modem in the HomeSeer PC.
- Lookup the name for the number in the HomeSeer Address book
- Log all calls to a call log viewable in the HS web interface
- Allow events to be created to be triggered by incoming calls (with wildcards in name and number).
- Show details of last call in plug-in specific devices.
- Pass calls to HS Phone if installed.
- Fully configurable plug-in
- Can be easily configured to speak details of incoming calls
The features would be similar to the existing YACSeer plug-in but with no need to install YAC.
The plug-in would only detect incoming calls and would not provide the more advanced features of HS phone.
I may implement this as an enhancement to the existing YACSeer plug-in which would then become a more general CallerID plug-in and perhaps I should consider changing the name to CIDSeer or something. Not sure of the logistics of changing the name of a plug-in though (there may well be issues with licensing and the updater) - does anyone know if this is possible?
Is there already a TAPI caller-id plug-in?
Would there be any interest in such a plug-in?
Regards,
George
