asterisk users - May 2011 - question on ways to activate voicemail light on polycom

Is there a way in asterisk to Activate/Clear the blinking light on 
polycom phones
indicating VM. Either from an AGI or some way in the dialplan?

I want to be able to control this light for from my application.
I have an AGI to do something similiar to VM and want to light /clear 
the light myself.

Thanks,

Jerry

I don't think there is a way to do it natively inside of asterisk, but I
control it from a shell script.  The shell script parses the output of "sip
show peers", crafts an application/simple-message-summary SIP message and
then uses netcat to send it to the appropriate IP address / port.

Yes, use the MinivmMWI application.

I've always just dumped a msg000.txt in the voicemail directory of that 
phone and removed it when not needed.  Under 1.4, the Polycoms act on it.
