References. Raspberry Pi & Bluetooth. The objective of this project is to generically assess the Bluetooth capabilities of the Raspberry Pi and to see what applications we can put it to.
Specifically, we are interested in tracking whether devices are detectable, e.g. are family members are home. This is part of the functionality we would like to deliver in our smart front door project. Knowing whether one or more family members is at home is a powerful tool to improve our home automation system. The heating, hot water and other things use the house status to set target temperature levels, etc.
The house status is currently manually set but, anything we can do to automate this and augment it with accurate, real-time data would simplify the user experience and improve over all efficiency. Note: This project is now an integral part of the presence detection system in our home. Installation For this project we are testing with two different Bluetooth dongles. Initially, we are doing all out testing on a mini-ITX PC running Debian. Who's in your house? Joe's post seems a bit flippant, but in a broader sense he has a point.
Maybe registering whether someone is home through BT is on one side of the line, secretly installing remote camera software on a school issued Mac and monitoring the kids at home by the school (true story) is clearly on the other side. Where I live it's illegal, as an example, to install something in the phone/car of your wife to see where she goes to establish whether she has a boyfriend or not.
With the proposed BT system you could cross the line if you're at work, your wife goes to her (your) home to play with her boyfriend and you scan the logs when you come home. A bit far fetched, I agree, but where is the dividing line? Monitoring kids has to be done to an extent (I use temporal Internet blocks for the youngest), but filming them 24/7 can be considered an invasion of their privacy after a certain age.
On the whole I think this greenhouse project is way to complicated. But hey, don't let me stop you.
