Title: Bluetooth
Post by: dutchie on August 04, 2014, 09:09:16 PM

Would it be possible to make a bluetooth dongle work with HG.
So I can do something with my http://www.playbulbs.com/en/index.html (http://www.playbulbs.com/en/index.html).

TTS for armed/disarmed alarm or something.

I'd like this request also. I came across them looking for Bluetooth speakers, which I thought would be a great way of getting HG to make announcements. If only they came with a mic built in, but I guess that'll happen soon enough.

Hi,

I ditto this request. There will be more Bluetooth devices in the future.

Class 1 Bluetooth has a range of 100m, Class 2: 30m. As good as Z-wave, boosters, relays are available.

There are C# bluetooth APIs out there. See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/144862/bluetooth-apis-in-windows-net (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/144862/bluetooth-apis-in-windows-net)
