Fritzbox 7270 possible to switch answerdevice on/of remotely

Post by Edwin2008 »

I love the 7270 but there is something i can't figure out.
I would like to switch on and of one or more answer devices on certain time's. I was hoping for a kind of telnet or http command to do this.
Aim is to switch the device on and of when leaving the house or getting to bed. The same for getting up.
The best would be if i could give the command via a commandline on the server. That way i could also be done via HS
In the fritzbox you only have the night setting but that does a lot more then i want :)
Any suggestions?

If you're using the Fritz!Box plugin, that could be an option to explore. I could look into that, but that will mean I will need your help, since I don't have the 7270 and I don't know the functional differences between the 7170 and 7270 regarding the answering machine.

But be aware that only those things that can be done from the Fritz web interface, can be made AFAIK.
If the web interface doesn't allow you to do what you want to do, chances are very small it can be accomplished externally.

At this moment i'm not using the plugin, but i can start with using it :)
The web interface is not reallu friendly to switch the answering device on or off but it is possible.
Log into the the webinterface and then go to Telephony -> Telephony devices -> klik on edit icon behind the answering device -> klik on properties tab -> select or deselect "enable answering machine"
NOT a real simple way to dwitch the aswering device on or off (not as far i know)

I can have a look at that, however time is scarce lately and there are more issues I have to take care of before i can start something new, so... it can take a while.

OMG, I see I missed my 2000th post celebration some time ago! :cry:

no hurry on this but it would be nice to be able to dwitch the answer machine on or off without digging around in the wb interface, this far away from being waf friendly :)
With a gigaset it is so easy, just push a few button's and it is on or off.
