Obi110 "Do not disturb" or "quiet hours"

Hi all:

I have been recently been living overseas and using my OBI110 with both my local PSTN provider and my Google Voice.  Everything works completely great, but I would like to set a sort of "quiet hours" overnight (europe time) so US telemarketers or political calls will not wake us up :-)

Is there any way to do this by default within the OBI, or is there a script that others have been using with success?  I have a Linux server running 24x7 at home, so potentially I could craft something together if needed.

Thanks in advance!

I use Panasonic cordless phones with the Obi. They have the feature to program a ring schedule.

drgeoff:
I haven't found anything in the OBi configuration which is sensitive to time-of-day.

You could get an account at pbxes.org and use your OBi as an extension on that.  It does permit time-of-day to affect Inbound Routing.  However, their free accounts do not support GV.

Or run your own Asterisk PBX (even on a low power RaspberryPi).  Amazing what Asterisk can do but quite a steep initial learning curve.

One issue with both of the above is that they put another possible point-of-failure in series with your existing configuration.

azrobert:
You could use an appliance timer to power off your OBi110.

Rick:
GV has settings where you can have the phone not ring...
