Is there a way to make my mobile phone trigger an action on my computer? I am thinkin

Answer 1

How about thinking outside of the box?

If you can route calls via switchboards (Asterisk, GrandCentral or anything else that supports ring groups), then you could actually send the call simultaneously to your phone and to a computer listening to SIP events.

This is a much more general technique and does require some special setup, but it then becomes phone independent and can be much more flexible.
