    Another day, I have beat myself in the head with this blackberry. This was the best program I ever had and I had to go and switch phones. I would like to know what all to remove to make a clean install. The computer finds the phone, but the program is not finding nothing. I loved this program because I had it set up to turn my oxygen machine on and off, to try to save electric. It worked perfect with my last phone. I wanted to add so much more, like the the alarm system. But, I cant get the this program to find nothing.
    Before when I would do the search for the search page it would take a little over a minute to run, now it only takes a half a second. This is why I know its something that has happened to the program also, because the day I got the new phone, homeseer messed up and I did a restore. Now I can not get this program to work and I really loved it more then any that I owned.
    Could someone help with what all I should remove before I restore it again. I have ran the install a bunch of times, and thats not getting it.
    Please looking for some help,
    Danielbo

      Try to
      1) Shutdown HomeSeer
      2) Delete (or rename) Config/hspi_bt.ini
      3) Restart HomeSeer and re-install the plugin from the updater.

        AIRcable Host XR.

        Working with MS stack, dont see ranges ofcourse since i dont have widcomm installed.

        But http://docs.google.com/View?docid=dc...ooth_Interface does say it is supported. Tried to install a default widcom stack but so far no luck since i have a belkin usb network hub and placed the device in the center of the house so it finds the phones everywhere in the house. Will test if i can hook it up to the pc and then run the installer again.

          Bluetooth Headset with Multiple Dongles

          Hello,

          I am trying to understand if what I am thinking to do is actually possible with this plugin. What I would like to do is use a bluetooth headset to walk around the house issuing commands to Homeseer, while having the response applied to the particular location within the house, using the triangulation capabilities of the multiple widcom capable receivers. Does the plugin currently look at the signal strength from multiple plugins and triangulate the exact location. This would be great for all kinds of responses, as well as the voice commands I would like to use. I use cat5 - USB baluns which extend USB devices was planning on strategically locating these within differnt rooms to provide the points for triangulation. These would all be connected to one machine, my server in the basement.

          Does all of this sound feasible? If so, then what are the suggestions on BT dongles and headsets.

          Thanks,

          Greg

            In theory this should work.... However in pratice triangulation is not good enough, and I'm not sure you can use your BT device simultaneously to command HomeSeer...

              Thanks,

              Could the signal strength be recorded and used as a locational reference map. Given the relative signal strengths from the different sensors and the appropriate maps, a fairly accurate answer should be achievable. Do you think that this would be feasible.

              Also, I was just reading on UWB and this sounds like a very interesting technology for inside positioning. I can't seem to find any consumer level hardware though.

                I can confirm that the Bolutek BTD-6610 also works with a patched Widcomm stack (the Bolutek is CSR based). Range indication works with this setup.

                  Forget your 100m class 1 adapters, this thing has got a range of 2000m and comes equipted with a whacking big aerial which means now it detects my phone before I've even driven onto the drive and this thing is in the middle of the house so it has to go through 3 brick walls too!

                  Any idea if this works with the Widcomm stack? With such a long range, it'd be nice to detect distances!

                  Edit... I missed the reply just above this one! What does "a patched Widcomm stack" mean/imply?

                    [QUOTE=mfisher;751821]I'll add that these combinations work:

                    D-Link DBT-120 adapter (short range) with Widcom stack v1.4.2 b10
                    QUOTE]

                    Does the DBT-120 come with the Widcom stack or do you have to get the Widcom stack seperately? I bought the D-link DBT-120 and installed it. It came with a Toshiba bluetooth stack that won't work with the HS bluetooth plug-in.

                      about to order a new BT dongel to give this plug in a try. Any feedback on what I should order? I'm looking for longer range (100m) vs. shorter. Has anyone tried the latest Beklin unit (F8T017)? Has the high CPU issue noted in this thread been resolved?

                      Thanks!

                        Bluetooth connector on WHS 2011

                        Has anyone tried the Bluetooth connector with HS running on Windows Home Server 2011?

                            Can you explain what you mean by a patched Widcomm stack or where one can be obtained that is compatible with the Bolutek dongle?
