I wrote about using func_devstate for creating custom device state in a previous blog post. I was in #asterisk on irc.freenode.net last night, and there were a couple of people who wanted to use func_devstate in Asterisk 1.4. So, I decided to go ahead and port it.

If you'd like to use this module with Asterisk 1.4, it is available for download from svn using the following command:

$ svn checkout http://svncommunity.digium.com/svn/russell/asterisk-1.4/func_devstate-1.4/

The README.txt included there provivdes extremely simple instructions for how to get it compiled and installed.

Enjoy!
