The `fritzbox_callmonitor` sensor monitors the call monitor exposed by [AVM Fritz!Box](http://avm.de/produkte/fritzbox/) routers
on TCP port 1012. It will assume the values 'idle', 'ringing', 'dialing', or 'talking',
with the phone numbers involved contained in the state attributes.

To use the Fritz!Box call monitor in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:

```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
  platform: fritzbox_callmonitor
```

Configuration variables:

- **host** (*Optional*): The IP address of your router, eg. 192.168.1.1. It is optional since every fritzbox is also reachable by using the IP address 169.254.1.1.
- **port** (*Optional*): The TCP port of the call monitor. There is usually no reason to change this.
