iPhone Pairing
Thanks! I had actually ordered a bunch of dongles a few months ago with the intention of trying this, and one of them worked great. Now I am trying to configure this to work with iPhones.
I have a dongle with the M$ BT stack. I am running the most recent Jon00blue client. I attempted to pair it with my iPhone 4. At first blush it appears to pair; however, when I look on the iPhone it seems like it never finishes pairing after entering the 0000. After a while it give a message saying that the "HOMESEER" device in incompatible.
As I understand it, the only way for the iphone to work is for it to be paired. Otherwise it will only ever be discovered when it is powered up from sleep--which requires user intervention.
I will say that I leave BT on all the time on the phone, and it connects with handsfree in my cars perfectly every time.
So with that in mind, perhaps the client needs to present a specific BT profile in order for the pairing to finish?
Have any other iphone users figured this out? I see mention earlier in the thread that some have; however, is that just the device discovery like I have now only when the iPhone screen is on? Or are you reliably able to have the virtual device associated with the iphone correctly display home/away in homeseer even when iphone is asleep in pocket?
Sorry for the long post--trying to figure this out to get it working in a useful way.
