Introduction
The SIP Core component is designed as a modular call management system for third party cards and developers to use.
This documentation is for the latest version of sip-hass-card.
Older versions are not supported and may not work with the latest Home Assistant versions.
Architecture
SIP Core is directly loaded in the Home Assistant frontend. This allows it to work on every page, and not just the dashboard. It provides an API for cards and other elements to interact with SIP calls, manage call states, and handle user interactions.
The Home Assistant ingress is only available when using the Asterisk add-on. If you are using a standalone Asterisk server, you will need to set up your own port forwarding, SSL, etc.
The SIP Core instance is also mounted on the window object, allowing easy access from custom cards and components without needing to import it directly.
You can access it using window.sipCore in your JavaScript code.
SIP Core API Documentation
For detailed information on the SIP Core API with all available methods, properties and enums, please refer to the SIP Core API documentation. This documentation is directly generated from the main branch of the SIP Core codebase.
Contributing
PRs and contributions to the repository for SIP Core and even wide-use cards / popups are always welcome!
If there are a lot of popular custom cards or popups, I might create a seperate community repository for them so people can easily find and install different cards and popups to use with SIP Core.
Getting Started
To get started with developing your own SIP card, you can follow the SIP Card Development Guide. This guide will walk you through the process of creating a custom SIP card, including setting up your development environment, creating the card, and integrating it with SIP Core.
There is also a guide for creating a popup and overriding the default one, which can be found in the Popup Development Guide.
I would love to showcase your custom cards and popups in the documentation, so please share them with me on our Discord server or on the Home Assistant Forum.
