Eventghost - Bluetooth event

Post by wayner »

Hi - I am new to Eventghost and I have a question about how to trigger an event that occurs when your PC (with a bluetooth adapter) "recognizes" another authorized bluetooth device.

My car has a built-in bluetooth hands-free system. When my car recognizes my cell phone it will pop up a message that says something like "Now Connected to Blackberry Bold".

Could I set up Eventghost to have the instance of my PC recognizing my cell phone be a "triggering event"? It would be a lot of fun to have your PC know that you are home - I also have a home automation system and I could use this to then trigger events in my home automation system, such as turning on lights, thermostat, etc.

Yes, this is possible. You can use xPL and Bluetooth tracker in combination with EventGhost

Search this forum for xPL and google on internet for "doghouse xpl"

Best regards, Walter
