Anyone ever do anything with this? I just obtained an RGB LED controller that I'd like PowerHome to talk to.

Tony,

I'd really like to start playing with some bluetooth options but havent had a chance yet. One of the things I'd like to do is use it to sense the presence of smartphones rather than using wifi the way I do now.

For the RGB LED controller you've got, I guess it would depend upon how it is accessed via bluetooth. Im thinking its probably just opening a bluetooth serial port. If so, then you could probably just get a standard bluetooth adapter for the PowerHome PC and see if the RGB controller would connect to it as a serial port. If so, I think you could then just use the internal PowerHome serial port routines (or the serial port plugin) and send/receive some commands.

Ive never tried this so I may have no idea what Im talking about but this is something Ive wanted to find the time to try.

Dave.
