Any updates for EHS support on OBi1032
Xipper:
This device has been out for a while now and yet there is no discussion of EHS other than claiming it is a feature of the device...which seems pretty deceptive since there is no documentation for compatibility of the functionality. I would love to know what model of phone the OBi1032 is similar/compatible with for EHS so that I can buy the appropriate cable...and I would really be upset to buy one of each cable to test to find out none of them work because the feature isn't even in the firmware.
Why is this not documented/discussed beyond the product feature list? i've owned my phone for about 6 months...and this was a committed feature on the product when I bought it...

34 reads and not a single answer. Perhaps like me they don't know what EHS is and cannot be bothered to find out. :(
Xipper:
EHS = Electronic Hook Switch
You may be familiar with electronic handset lifters, this is a way to allow answering calls from a remote headset for standard phones. Phones that support EHS allow avoiding the use of electronic handset lifters and the "off hook" is triggered via the headset jack from the headset. Based on the product page I expect this is supported on the 3.5mm jack and not the RJ9, but there is no info as to implementation support.
Most "business" grade PBX phones offer EHS support, each headset vendor then offers cables to adapt to those devices. There are a few different models out there today, ideally the Obi would align to one of those so that existing accessories exist...as inventing something "new" for someone as small as Obi will mean that us users will never get device compatibility.

AFAIK the adaptor for the 1032 is not yet available but to get a definitive answer you should ask Obihai directly, not via this forum.
Xipper:
Being that this is the Obihai support forum i would have expected someone from the company to possibly read/respond to the support post.
It is beyond idiotic and entirely deceptive that they continue to list features on the product descriptions that do not exist. I have owned this phone for 4 months and bought it in part because it claims support for EHS...which it doesn't. Perhaps I should contact my vendor and ask for a refund as Obihai has failed to deliver on the promised specs in 4-months and can't bother to tell a customer when they may actually deliver on the features that were used to sell the product.
I emailed them and got an ever so helpful response:
