Thanks for the tutorial. I had set this up previously but never got it working, the node wouldn't connect to the pbx. After following your steps I found that the freepbx firewall did not list port 5038 as a service. After adding it as a custom service the node red freepbx node connected immediately.

daveymg - I have the same issue where the node won't connect in Node-Red; where did you add the custom service?

[@daveymg]

@@matthewlowe5577 go to the Firewall Services page and add it under the Custom Services tab

Thanks for the video, it work fine as audiocalling.
Can you help me, to make it work videocalling between extention100 and 107 ?

Everything was easy until about the 10 minute mark.
Did I mention there are a LOT of messages just like you said in the video!
Is there documentation for this interface and where can I find it?
