Download and extract the zip of this repo.
Just got to chrome://extensions in your browser.
Enable developer options by clicking the checkmark at the top.
Click on "load unpacked extension" then select the folder where the GS CTC files are located in.
Inside the folder open "popup.js" and change the IP on line 129 to your handset (default is 192.168.0.23).
Click the greeny/teal phone icon that appears in your browsers extension area. (usually the top right) Here you can see the IP you've set and the current status (will take a moment to update on first open) Every 2 seconds the extension updates the status of the phone by sending it a request. From the extensnion you can click the buttons to Accept/End/Hold a call and reboot the handset. Please note the hold button only works during a call and the reboot button will immediately reboot the handset.
Currently, the click to call feature only has limited support. There are too many different phone formats on the web so at the moment GS CTC only suppors phone numbers inside a link <a href=> and those that start with tel:. Support for different numbers will eventually come.
To activate click to call, simply click on the link and the handset will immediately start a call.
Whenever a call is started, you'll get a chrome notification. This confirms what number you're calling and lets you quickly cancel the call if it was started by mistake. The notification should hang around for about 10 seconds, but you can dismiss it earlier with the "dismiss" button.
- More support for different phone number formats
- User configurable options (ip, refresh rate etc) from the GUI
- Option to call selected text when right clicking on a text selection
