How to make OpenHab make a phone call?

[Udo_Hartmann]

There are some threads here, e.g.

Call telephone from rule

Regarding the OpenHAB wiki the binding can just handle incoming calls. But I want to initiate an outgoing call which plays an audio file three times, then hangup the phone. Or ist this also possible using the binding?

Do you use VoIP? Any additional hardware/software (I’m using asterisk here, so I have the option to use the solution in this thread)
