title: "Asterisk Voicemail server installation"
|
||||
description: "Instructions on how to integrate your existing Asterisk voicemail within Home Assistant."
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
Asterisk Voicemail integration allows Home Assistant to view, listen to and delete voicemails from a Asterisk voicemail mailbox.
|
||||
|
||||
There are two components to the integration:
|
||||
|
||||
- A server that runs on the Asterisk PBX host and communicates over an open port.
|
||||
- A client which can request information from the server.
|
||||
|
||||
Both parts are necessary for Asterisk voicemail integration.
|
||||
|
||||
The server installation is documented below. The client is [integrated inside Home Assistant](/integrations/asterisk_mbox)
|
||||
|
||||
{% note %}
|
||||
Currently this module can only monitor a single Asterisk PBX mailbox.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### Prerequisites
|
||||
|
||||
Before beginning make sure that you have the following:
|
||||
|
||||
- A functional Asterisk PBX setup which is using the default `voicemail` application.
|
||||
- Both Home Assistant and Asterisk PBX running on the same LAN (or the same server).
|
||||
- The Asterisk PBX server has Python 3.5 or newer installed.
|
||||
- Administrator access on the Asterisk PBX (for Python module installation).
|
||||
- Account access to the `asterisk` user that runs the Asterisk PBX software.
|
||||
|
||||
### Installation
|
||||
|
||||
1. Apply for a Google API key to enable speech-transcription services
|
||||
|
||||
2. Install the `asterisk_mbox_server` Python module:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
pip3 install asterisk_mbox_server
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. Create a configuration file for the server
|
||||
|
||||
As the `asterisk` user create an `asterisk_mbox.ini` file. You can place this in any directory you choose, but the recommended location is `/etc/asterisk/asterisk_mbox.ini`.
|
||||
|
||||
```ini
|
||||
[default]
|
||||
host = IP_ADDRESS
|
||||
port = PORT
|
||||
password = PASSWORD
|
||||
mbox_path = PATH_TO_VOICEMAIL_FILES
|
||||
cache_file = PATH_TO_CACHE_FILE
|
||||
google_key = GOOGLE_API_KEY
|
||||
cdr = mysql+pymysql://<mysql-user>:<mysql-password>@localhost/asterisk/cdr
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- `host` (*Optional*): The IP address to listen on for client requests. This defaults to all IP addresses on the server. To listen only locally, choose `127.0.0.1`
|
||||
- `port` (*Optional*): The port to listen on for client requests. Defaults to 12345.
|
||||
- `password` (*Required*): A password shared between client and server. Use only alphanumeric characters and spaces
|
||||
- `mbox_path` (*Required*): The path to the storage location of mailbox files. This is typically `/var/spool/asterisk/voicemail/default/<mailbox>/`
|
||||
- `cache_file` (*Required*): A fully-qualified path to a file that can be written by the server containing transcriptions of voicemails. Example: `/var/spool/asterisk/transcription.cache`
|
||||
- `google_key` (*Required*): Your 40 characters Google API key.
|
||||
- `cdr` (*Optional*): Where to find CDR data. Supports various SQL databases as well as a file log. Configuring the CDR will enable the `asterisk_cdr` platform.
|
||||
|
||||
Once complete, ensure this file is only accessible by the Asterisk user:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sudo chown asterisk:asterisk /etc/asterisk/asterisk_mbox.ini
|
||||
sudo chmod 600 /etc/asterisk/asterisk_mbox.ini
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
4. Interactively start the server to verify it is functioning
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sudo -u asterisk asterisk_mbox_server -v --cfg /etc/asterisk/asterisk_mbox.ini
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Now complete the [Home Assistant configuration](/integrations/asterisk_mbox) and verify that Home Assistant can communicate with the server
|
||||
|
||||
You can use `Ctrl-c` to terminate the server when done testing
|
||||
|
||||
5. Configure the server to start automatically
|
||||
|
||||
Copy the following code into `/etc/systemd/system/asterisk_mbox.service`:
|
||||
```ini
|
||||
[Unit]
|
||||
Description=Asterisk PBX voicemail server for Home Assistant
|
||||
Wants=network.target
|
||||
After=network.target
|
||||
|
||||
[Service]
|
||||
Type=simple
|
||||
User=asterisk
|
||||
Group=asterisk
|
||||
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/asterisk-mbox-server --cfg /etc/asterisk/asterisk_mbox.ini
|
||||
Restart=on-failure
|
||||
|
||||
[Install]
|
||||
WantedBy=multi-user.target
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
{% note %}
|
||||
This assumes that your Asterisk PBX server is using `systemd` for init handling. If not, you will need to create the appropriate configuration files yourself.
