FreePBX -> Incoming Call - > MQTT

[dan_ce (D E)]

Does anyone have any advice on how to send the incoming call number to MQTT from within the GUI? Thanks!

You can’t easily do it from inside the GUI, you will need to pass the call data to your mqtt broker , there are a couple of asterisk specific libraries, one for example:-

Sending incoming call info to MQTT

There are sip2mqtt type connectors for many iot type stuff (home assistant for example) and there is good old mosquitto_pub/sub you can call within your custom inbound call context dialplan with

[your-custom-mqtt-inbound]
exten => s,1,trysystem(mosquitto_pub -h your.mqtt.broker -t 'your/topic/${EXTEN}' -m ${CallerID(number)} )
exten=> s,n, goto(from-pstn,${EXTEN},1)

for example, the -m (message) can be as complex as you want if json formatted
