Here is version 0.40.2.2 of the Bluetooth Connector plugin for HomeSeer 2.1 and 2.2beta:
Features:
- The plugin is compatible with the Microsoft XP SP2 Bluetooth stack, and with the Widcomm stack (v1.4.2.10 or later). It is not compatible with IVT, BlueSoleil or Toshiba BT stacks.
- Bluetooth device presence detection. You can configure different device values and device strings for away/detected.
- Bluetooth device signal strength (with the Widcomm Bluetooth stack). You can configure different device values and strings according to signal strength.
- An optionnal Bluetooth Client can collect bluetooth presence and signal strength from remote computers, and communicate its findings to the main plugin.
- With several long range Bluetooth dongles, the plugin allows you to triangulate the position of your Bluetooth devices.
- Web configuration interface for all parameters.
Change Log since 0.38.2.2
- Fixed a bug that could prevent the Bluetooth Client from reporting autodiscovery devices properly, if the Bluetooth Client main window had never been open.
- The bluetooth discovery thread is launched at the plugin only if the local bluetooth network is enabled. If no bluetooth dongle is found, the local network is disabled.
- No more polling logs on a disabled bluetooth network.
- Made some changes to allow Bluetooth Client operations only (in case there is no Local BT Network at the server)
How to install or upgrade the plugin:
1) Download the attached .ZIP
2) Unzip the archive without flattening the file tree (there are subdirectories that must be kept)
3) Shutdown HomeSeer
4) If you are upgrading, DELETE the HomeSeer 2/html/hspi_bt directory, because this directory will be replaced by the directory included in the ZIP.
5) Copy all unziped files and subdirectories to your HomeSeer 2 directory. Replace all existing files.
6) Restart HomeSeer<!-- / message --><!-- attachments -->
How to install the Bluetooth Client on a remote computer:
Copy the following files from your HomeSeer server to your remote computer.
All files should be found in the HomeSeer 2 directory on your HomeSeer computer
All files must be copied to the HomeSeer 2 directory on the remote computer. This directory should already exist as the speaker client must be installed on the remote computer.
All files must be COPIED, not MOVED or DELETED (including the .exe !).
- BlueTools.dll
- BlueToolsMS.dll
- BlueToolsWC.dll
- BlueToolsWC150.dll
- Franson.Bluetools.200.dll
- hspi_bt.dll
- BluetoothClient.exe
You can install several BlueTooth clients. Here I tested with 2 BlueTooth Clients + the main plugin, and with 3 long range dongles (Widcomm stack), the plugin can successfully triangulate an approximate position of each Bluetooth device in the house.
