Hi, for a certain application I have, it'd be great to be able to set a filter that not only auto answered a call (based on the caller id), as I've tested, but also allows you to indicate that the call should start on speakerphone.

I don't suppose there's a way to do this now that I'm missing, is there?

    Whoops, never mind. It looks like (on my Moto X first gen, at least), in Expert Mode, in Media settings, at the bottom, the 'Auto connect rear speaker' setting (off by default) does seem to make this work now.

    Hope this helps others looking for the same solution.

    I do, after all, have one more related request to this. I know when I use an auto answer feature like this from Asterisk using Grandstream (or Polycom) phones hardphones, e.g., I can somehow configure them (probably w/ a number of rings or the lenght of time to ring) to give the callee a small warning that a call is coming in and is answered, by ringing the called phone briefly before answering.

    Would it be possible to somehow add this to the filter feature that enables auto-answer (or add it as an alternate form of auto-answer)? It'd be great if we could choose the number of milliseconds to let it ring before answering.

    Thanks for the great product and ongoing support!
