Has anybody had any experience with RS232 to Bluetooth adapters to wirelessly connect an RFID reader to the Homeseer PC? Where I'd like to position a reader and where my HS unit sits makes me feel faint at the prospect of trying to string Cat 5 cable. I know the range of Bluetooth isn't spectacular but I'd be willing to give this a try if I heard some positive feedback. I'm interested in anybody's experience with these wireless adapters, be it for hooking up a printer or any other use. I plan on using it for the RFID reader so I'm really just looking to verify the efficacy of the product. If you have used it with RFID, all the better.
The adapters are like the ones at this Amazon link. (although I'm not stuck on these particular adapters, just wanted an example to show you so you know what I'm talking about.)

For clarification, I'm thinking about an active iAutomate RFID reader.
Also to add one more level of complication, my HS unit has USB inputs only so the wireless adapter at the HS unit would have to be plugged into a serial to USB cable.
