Nice one Olle. Before I possibly waste my time trying this does this
blinkety lights magic also work with SCCP phones?

I wonder - when this will be available from Realtime.. Managing more
than 50 users makes static config a nightmare, and AFAIK there is no
ways how to create hints with variables/extension masks. So, it is
logical to ask for hint support in Realtime.

AFAIK hints are supported in Realtime:
Set the priority as -1.
Set the app as the hint.

I have a small question: other than a phone (ie. SIP/something), what else can
I use as "app"? Can I handle the change via some custom code?

TIA,

There are a number of things that can provide "device state" in
Asterisk.  That
includes "real" devices such as SIP endpoints, or any other channel
driver.
However, it also includes things like monitoring the state of a space in 
parking, or the usage of a MeetMe conference.  I have also written a small 
dialplan function which lets you create custom device states.  A lot of people 
use this for things like having a light on the phone that reflects whether the 
agent is logged in or not.

IIRC, this feature is currently only supported in Asterisk trunk (soon to become
Asterisk 1.6).
