ARC Bluetooth Device Connection/Disconnection Alert

Is there a way I could make ARC monitor Bluetooth devices?

So like say I have a Bluetooth headset. If I turn it off and it disconnects from my computer, could I make ARC send an audible alert such as "microphone disconnected. please reconnect to resume service"?

Not through ARC, at least not that I know of.

However you could use EventGhost to achieve that either 100% within EventGhost or by using EventGhost to let ARC know i.e. through a text file that's monitored by ARC.

It'll log when a device is connected/disconnected, use that to trigger a macro. You'll need to read the documentation and their website/forum.

When a device is connected/disconnected it is shown in the log. Use that as a trigger to run a macro.

One way to have it talk to ARC is - in the macro make it write to a file. In ARC have a script running which monitors a text file.
Another way would be to use Telnet to send a script command to ARC to set a variable that's monitored.
