Why use bluetooth? Is the bluetooth transceiver within the lightbulb itself? what causes the detection of the presence of a person? |
|
| |
Presence detection circuits for turning lights on are well known (most people have something like this at their front/back door). |
|
| |
Mmm, what was that movie that had pictures that changed whenever someone entered a room? |
|
| |
Are you saying that you carry a small
bluetooth device on you and it activates
parts of the house when you walk into a
room? |
|
| |
If so, then this is pretty much what the
'smart house' concept is about. |
|
| |
I'm still looking for a pun. |
|
| |
No, no pun. Just a bluetooth-activated lighting system. |
|
| |
I did a quite similar idea a while back, see link. |
|
| |
I like it. We have the Lutron Radio Ra lighting system. It uses a priority protocol. I assume you can hook the Radio RA up to a computer and then control however you want.
Bluetooth would be kinda cool: controllable from a CELL PHONE, PDA, LAPTOP or whatever you are carrying around. |
|
| |
So I guess "bluetooth" is the new "usb"? So why bluetooth? Why not firewire? Why not infrared? Why not.... microwave? Why not..... infrared hopping? |
|
| |
I'm looking for a pun too. Am I at least close? |
