I would love to have our conference buttons light up when someone is in a conference, but I can’t figure it out. Here’s what I’ve done (we’re on Grandstream GXP-2010 phones):
Let’s say extension 200 is the conference. It is programmed as a BLF button in the phone.
In extensions_custom.conf, I’ve written exten => 200,hint,Zap-pseudo
The Zap thing was simply what was showing up in the CDR log, so I thought that might be the channel that holds the conference. Obviously, there’s no identifier for the specific conference, so this can’t be right.
But which channel exactly do you hint in order to monitor activity on a conference? Or is this not possible?
use the backported func_devstate from 1.6 that is available for 1.4 and then setup a hint for the meetme conference. To my knowledge, it does not exist on 1.2. See the astersk wiki for more details.
My Meetme conference is 3300. I added the following line to extensions_custom.conf
exten => 3300,hint,Meetme:3300
Restarted asterisk, then subscribed 3300 as a BLF button on my phone. Now, after you say your name and press # entering the conference, the button lights up.
