Title: Support for Bluetooth Speakers (with Mic) for Speech Input/Ouput
Post by: RichieC on August 26, 2014, 01:05:02 PM
Would it be possible to add support for bluetooth speakers?

Many of these have microphones for handsfree phone calls when used with a mobile phone. Would be cool if these could be used to allow speech output from Homegenie and also to allow speech commands to be input to control Homegenie (as can be done via the mobile or web clients).

If it were possible to support multiple bluetooth speakers, you could have one in each room and if Homegenie was aware of the locations of these devices you could even make speech commands location sensitive to that room - e.g. "Lights on" would only turn on the lights in that room etc..

Just an idea, but do people think that this is a good idea, and is this something that is possible ?
