So I am new to Indigo, but not to HA. I have been playing around with iBeacon at a very low level. So my idea is for a plugin which will scan via Bluetooth for the presence of an iBeacon. From my understanding iBeacon are fixed at a location and you phone then connects when in range and sends a webhook, which is picked by a plugin in Indigo.
My idea (which may have already been done, but my search didn't find anything) is to do away with the phone, and use just a small iBeacon and the bluetooth on the Mac.
So using something like this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BEACON101-IBe ... =undefined attached to your keyring. When you get within range the plugin would then detect you and either set a variable or be a virtual motion sensor. These iBeacons are relatively inexpensive £4.99, have unique ID's, have a range of about 40m, and the battery can last up to 12 months (with a poll of 1 sec). So seems like the ideal presence device. Plus you could put one on your key chain, one somewhere on the car, and one for the wife, and with a bit of logic it could work out if you have both left the house, who has taken the car, or if you have both gone etc etc.
I have found an App for the Mac (http://www.hugeinc.com/ideas/perspectiv ... ty-for-osx), which seems to do the bluetooth scanning side of things (works quite well testing with my Mac and my iPhone as an iBeacon).
Now comes the problems, I am not a programmer in any way, shape or form, so this is where I get stuck. Anyone willing to pick this up? Or at least point me in the right direction?
Thanks
Stuart
