Hi Team
Does anyone know of an app that watches for Bluetooth devices as they come in range?
My thinking is that most people have a phone in their pocket with the wifi or bluetooth switched on why not use this to identify them to the robot.
If there was a way of reading the MAC of the device and alerting the robot... or writing the info to a csv file for reading.... or varable... hmmmm
Thoughts anyone?
And you can use HTTPGet to send and receive data from EventGhost too, it's how my robot knows the room temperature and can turn my lights on and off. But that would need a lot of custom scripts in both ARC and EventGhost plus a webserver on the LAN...
It sounds more complicated than it is.
Sleep time here in New Zealand... well 1:30 in the am and I'm still awake due to the change over in Day-Light saving.... so best get some shut eye for work tomorrow.
Thanks

Do you have a screen shot and XML showing how you did this?
The documentation is a bit vague... *stress*
You're right, it is vague. From memory you need to install EventGhost on the PC and also EventGhost on the smart phone. I guess you could use EventGhost on the PC to ping the smart phone's IP every x minutes/seconds to check if it's there...
Also, if I recall correctly, their forum is much like this one, in that the documentation is in the forum. I think I found anything I needed help with by searching on there.
Like I said, I'll look later at how I did it and see if I can give you some pointers.
