Modem Caller ID
The modem_callerid
integration uses an available modem for collecting caller ID information. It requires a Hayes AT compatible modem that supports caller ID detection (via AT+VCID=1).
When the sensor detects a new call, its state changes to ‘ring’ for each ring and ‘callerid’ when caller id information is received. It returns to ‘idle’ once ringing stops. The state event includes an attribute payload that includes the time of the call, name and number.
Setup
To find the path of your USB modem, run:
ls /dev/ttyACM*
If Home Assistant (hass
) runs with another user (e.g., homeassistant
) give access to the stick with:
sudo usermod -a -G dialout homeassistant
Depending on what’s plugged into your USB ports, the name found above may change. You can lock in a name, such as /dev/modem
, by following these instructions.
Configuration
To enable the sensor, add the following lines to your configuration.yaml
:
# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
- platform: modem_callerid
To find the path of your USB modem, run:
$ ls /dev/ttyACM*
If Home Assistant (hass
) runs with another user (e.g., homeassistant
) give access to the stick with:
$ sudo usermod -a -G dialout homeassistant
Depending on what’s plugged into your USB ports, the name found above may change. You can lock in a name, such as /dev/modem
, by following these instructions.
