# oh-sipclient - SIP Client

SIP Client to start and answer SIP calls

The oh-sipclient component allows to call and answer SIP calls using the JsSIP (opens new window) library.

# Usage

# General

The color of the call icon depends on the state of the connection to the SIP server:

  • yellow: no connection yet, but oh-sipclient tries to establish the connection
  • green: successfully connected to the SIP server, ready to perform calls

When the call button is green, a tap on it either directly starts a call or opens a popup to choose from the phonebook property. As soon as you start an outgoing call, a hangup button will be displayed. The hangup button is coloured yellow, if the call has not been accepted yet. If the call has been accepted, the hangup button will become red.

When a call is coming in, a green accept and a red decline button are displayed. If the call is accepted, a red hangup button is accepted. The number or the name (looked up in the phonebook property) of the caller is displayed between these two buttons, but this called id can be hidden.

oh-sipclient also supports video calling, playing ringtone as well as ringback sounds and performing DTMF operations, e.g. for doorstations to open the door.

This configuration is standard widget configuration and stored on the openHAB server, it is therefore shared across all clients.

# Intercom Functionality

It is even possible to establish an intercom functionality between multiple MainUI clients, e.g. between several wall-mounted tablets across your house.

To use the intercom functionality, it is required that each client gets his own SIP account configured. This can be achieved by configuring the widget as usual, but setting SIP username & password in the Local SIP Account Settings:

  1. Open the UI page with the oh-sipclient on the individual client.
  2. Enter Edit mode.
  3. oh-sipclient will show a button names Local SIP Account Settings in the upper right corner.
  4. Insert your SIP account credentials, they are used instead of those stored on the openHAB server.
  5. Insert the SIP address/phone number of your SIP account, it is used to hide your local identity from the call dial.
