asterisk users - Oct 2006 - using asterisk to do remote control functions

Hi
Im very green to asterisk, and I have been asked if asterisk can be
used to do remote control, like opening gates etc, say when the user
dials a predefined number ...
And what hardware is required ...

Many Thanks

We use it in a variety of situations in an industrial setting. We use it for
some control, status checking, and also we use asterisk for overhead paging
when certain alert situations occur.

The hardware I'm using is Opto22 Snap ehternet brains. One of the models I
use is the SNAP-B3000-ENET which can sometimes be found on Ebay. The
hardware isn't cheap but they provide excellent documentation and software
for free, and free training. They have a free linux developers kit which
has, as an example program, a handy command line utility which I use with
asterisk.

If you just want to control a couple of digital points this hardware may be
overkill, but it is cool stuff.

Has anyone used the TrixBox/AAH builtin facility xPL for
"facility" (including home/office/industrial) automation?
