Hello,
I have USB temperature sensors that come up as a serial port. When you send a command to it, it will respond with the temperature. Is it possible to set a DTMF code to access the serial port and read the response over the node?

If so, how would you do this?

Thanks,

Mike (N0VZC)

generally, yes.
set a dtmf command to shell to script.

xxx=cmd,/path/to/script.sh

Inside the script, you will have to capture reply then issue asterisk commands to speak that result.
asterisk -rx (commands to speak the var)

exit
