Howto download SIPGATE Voicemails (WAVs)

Moin

Sipgate has a very nice API to access the phonebook or write click2call applications. You can also check your voicemail (or as it is called in the API Unified Message). Unfortunately you can only get information on the amount of messages and if they are read or not. With a small wget script you can also download the WAV files and send them for example to your Nabaztag. Its cool to come home and your Nabaztag tells you about absent calls end presents you the message without picking up the phone or starting the laptop.

You need one wget call to get your PHPsession key:

 wget --no-check-certificate \

--save-cookies /home/ansi/.cookies/sipgate \

--keep-session-cookies \

--post-data "uname=Username&passw=Passwd&lasturi=%2Fuser%2Findex.php&jsh=1&okey.x=0&okey.y=0" \
"https://secure.sipgate.de/user/index.php"

Important to set your Username and Passwd in the script. Wget will then store your PHPsession key to your .cookies folder.

With

 wget "https://secure.sipgate.de/user/voicemail.php?\
       file=0001&status=new" \
       --load-cookies /home/ansi/.cookies/sipgate \
       --no-check-certificate
       -O 1.wav

you can download your voice messages as wav files. Then a little “lame” and an Nabaztag API call and your Voicemail will be presented to you as soon as you come home. Have fun.

RFID for privat and daily use

Moin

Just found the violet web page with cool devices. One is a RFID Scanner and small little RFID tags called Mir:ror. You can easily program actions depending on the tag. As tags you can use Ztamp:s or small little Nabaztags. Have a look at the video:

One other nice thing is an internet controlled lamp called Dal:dal. Strongly reminds me to the EOLUS lamp.
