Dealer Plugin allows Vera to initiate an automatic phone call between your regular or SIP phone, and the destination number entered in the plugin's phone number field.
For example, motion detector at home could make Vera to connect your mobile phone, and the home phone - thus letting you reach someone who just entered home immediately.
Similarly, button on z-wave controller at home could programmed to initiate a call between a speakerphone at home and your mobile or office home - which could make a sort of Quick Dial button for children or elderly (keep in mind that residential VoIP solutions are not designed to be mission critical, and this should not be trusted for real life and death matters).
Before starting with the setup, user should decide on local and remote numbers. To illustrate this we'll take a simplified scenario: user has an auto-answering speakerphone at home, and if something happens he wants the system to reach him on his mobile phone, connecting to the speakerphone at home so he can talk to whoever is there (at home) at the moment. In this case local number will be the home number, and remote number would be the mobile.
- Login into your PBXes account, and create a Classical (or SIP if relevant) extension that would represent the local number as defined above. Put any unique value in URL field in Webcall section.
Install the plugin on Vera, create a new Dialer device, Save
Go to device settings, in field Alias put the value you used in URL @pbxes.com Fill PhoneNumber field with the remote number.
