what you need is asterisk - then program an autoattendant so regular callers
your phone rings several times and then goes to voicemail - but if you press
a key sequence - you get a voice menu of things you can do. then connect
that to agi scripts that do the things you want.

I'm not doing any home automation with mine yet. But I'm working to ward
that.
