fritzbox_callmonitor: Caller phone number from attribut 'from' will not be fetched

[Technikessenz]

The problem

Hello,

i integrated the fritzbox_callmonitor integration into my home assistant os setup.

with this script wich i use in a home assistant automation, i want to spell the callers name (if it is in the phonebook) or if not available spell the callers phone number. As result of my research i found that this should be done with the 'from' attribute, but i can't get it to work. Every time a caller is not in the fritz!box phonebook it spells call from unknown.

Am I doing something wrong? Or is the 'from' attribut not available anymore?

See the complete home assistant automation script below.

Thanks in advance

Bye

The sensor always sets the from_name. For unknown callers it's just unknown. Therefore your if statement never get's to the second condition. Try something like:

{% if state_attr('sensor.fritz_box_call_monitor_phonebook', 'from_name') != 'unknown' %}
  Call from {{ state_attr('sensor.fritz_box_call_monitor_phonebook', 'from_name') }}
{% else %}
  Call from number {{ state_attr('sensor.fritz_box_call_monitor_phonebook', 'from') }}
{% endif %}

Thanks for your quick answer. I tried it now. Now it doesn't say: call from unknown. But now it says nothing, if there is no fritz!box phonebook entry available.

So my original plan was, to let home assistant say, call from name or call from number if a fritz!box phonebook entry is available and if no fritz!box phonebook entry is available, to say call from number or if there is no number information available, to say call from unknown.

Is this possible or is it only possible if a fritz!box phonebook entry exists?

Thanks in advance

I tried it now. Now it doesn't say: call from unknown. But now it says nothing, if there is no fritz!box phonebook entry available.

Are you sure / have you deleted the elif clause?

Have you tried debugging the template using the Developer tools? Please check the States tab in both cases (known and unknown number). Also try the Template tab.

[Technikessenz]

Yes. I have replaced my script part with yours and then restarted home assistant completely. There is no elif clause anymore.

I looked at the trace from my test calls when the automation run.

You are right. The phone number is therefore transmitted. See:

params: domain: tts service: speak service_data: message: Call from number 0** media_player_entity_id: media_player.homepod_all cache: true entity_id:

• tts.piper target: entity_id:
• tts.piper running_script: false

Therefore i think it must have something to do with the piper tts addon which apparently cannot read out the number.

I will take a look at this.

[Technikessenz]

This is strange. If i manually let the piper tts addon speak out the phrase Call from number 0** it works. But this behavior has nothing to do with the fritz!box callmonitor integration i think. i'll have to test and check again myself. thanks anyway.
