Eventscripts for bluetooth detection of multiple devices!

http://www.mousedown.net/mouseware/EventScripts.html

I highly recommend his for anybody using bluetooth detection on their apps. It recently replaced Proximity, as it allows multiple bluetooth devices and an adjustable amount of retries before timing out.

Between that and Smartphoneradar, my apartment knows when either my gf or i am are home. With a triggerlinc on the door, the apartment starts up based on who is in range and shuts down when nobody is in range.

It rules. Let me know if you run into trouble with the included library of example scripts, it took some tinkering to get them to work.

I tried using it, however I cannot make it work, does not seems to trigger my script by the bluetooth device lost or found.

Any pointers on how to make this work?

Thank you.

I purchased Eventscripts and have been able to get the blutetooth found and lost events to work great. What I'm not sure about is how to integrate this into Indigo. I'm new to this whole thing. Any pointers to get me going in the right direction? I'm a decent programmer, just not sure how the Indigo API works.

Thanks.

Indigo's AppleScript dictionary describes all the functionality provided - it can also be accessed directly in the AppleScript editor (in a more usable form IMO) by inspecting the IndigoServer app itself located here:

/Library/Application Support/Perceptive Automation/Indigo 6/IndigoServer.app

Note that's the Library folder at the top level of the hard drive, not the one in your user directory.

Thank You. That is exactly what I needed.
I now have the Bluetooth proximity scripts working.

I am trying to get this work and can't quite make the final step. I can get it to work to run a really basic script when an event happens but as soon as I try to use the parameters passed to the script to work out which device has been lost or found, it doesn't work. I am running Eventscripts on a different machine (on same LAN) than Indigo. Don't ask why but this can't be changed. The following works well to change a variable in Indigo triggered from event scripts:

set theRemoteApp to application "eppc://username:password@servername.local/IndigoServer"
using terms from application "Script Editor"
tell theRemoteApp
set «class Valu» of «class Vrbl» "AIsHome" to "true"
end tell
end using terms from

However, when I adapt the script to try to make use of parameters to determine which device has been lost/found, as follows, it doesn't work:

on run eventArgs
set lostDevice to (deviceName of eventArgs)
set theRemoteApp to application "eppc://username:password@servername.local/IndigoServer"
if lostDevice is "A iPhone" then
using terms from application "Script Editor"
tell theRemoteApp
set «class Valu» of «class Vrbl» "AIsHome" to "false"
end tell
end using terms from
else if lostDevice is "B iPhone" then
using terms from application "Script Editor"
tell theRemoteApp
set «class Valu» of «class Vrbl» "BIsHome" to "false"
end tell
end using terms from
end if
end run

If I try running this script in Script Editor it throws an error saying:

error "Can’t make deviceName into type reference." number -1700 from deviceName to reference

But I know almost nothing about Applescript or script editor so this isn't helping me very much.

Any ideas or suggestions gratefully received.

Thanks,
Jon
