Stuff runs on poquito which is an ancient (ca. 2011?) Raspberry Pi. Some of the software is out of date, the upshot is efforts to update things like versions of Python etc are 'shaky'. The only reason I mention this is because there is a Python module called python-ESL [[1]] that seems especially nicely suited to handling SIP/phone stuff, but we could not install it via pip. Kevin discovered a command line tool, SIPPing [[2]] that creates and sends SIP packets albeit in a less clean and ideal fashion.
On poquito, in /home/pi/Bloominglabs/bots, there are two files: sipping_template.txt and sipping_func.py. The first has the packet format, the second has a function that 'wraps' SIPPing.
net_doorbot.py (in the same directory) is 'doorbot', and dosman put a lot of machinery in place that does checks to make sure it's running. As far as integrating SIPPing, just:
import sipping_func
which you can then call when you want to announce somebody has arrived:
sipping_func.announce_arrival('test person')
