Why not make a challenge for DIY

[Nevoeiro]

Well...

I was looking on the internet and found pretty much near to nothing as how to make a Intercom with a raspberry pi like an telephone... (Kinda like a hotel intercom if you know what I mean)

 

The best solution I found was to make a sip server and use softphones to communicate but nothing to do as a bell ring of the sorts...

 

Another cool stuff to show would be a home NAS server using the Odroid HC2... it should be a pretty good deal even for stacking themselves should they not?

Just shove an android image onto the RPi and install a random instant messaging app that has voice chat.

 

Done.

That should not work I think...

The point is using it with something like a old phone (with a dial pad and something to pickup calls)

If you wanted a simple way to do communication a mumble network would work... (but again have issues)

probably because you can get a set of 3 phones with intercom built in for like $70 and can be used as proper phones as well. DIY is good when the alternative is not cheap
