There are other versions of it. It's a CHSmartbulb. You can find them between 20-30 dollars.

I'm going to use the bluetooth speaker as a remote speaker for Indigo. The speaker part just acted like any other bluetooth speaker.

I'm' wondering if anyone has been able to have indigo control the light itself or the colors over bluetooth. I don't know if you'd need a separate adapter.

(The iPhone software is horrendous)

Any takers?

Mind if I ask why you would want to go the Bluetooth route, rather than Airplay or Airfoil? There are great scripting hooks into either of the latter.

I wanted to be able to turn the bulb on and off, and change the colors. Those settings appear to only be available via bluetooth.

Ahhhh, the light controls. Yeah, seems like BT control is really cheap for manufacturers to put in. But I'm unaware of any centralized hub/computer sw that controls BT.

I suppose that if the light has some sort of API there might be some hope.
