andy.cytexone Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 I figured I'd post these door handles for those random customer-wants. Basically, the color changes to read when the room is occupied, and green when available. Again, not for everyone, and it might be a good fit for some. Hope it helps someone.http://brighthandle.com/Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chambrick Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 Let's all figure a hack for the handheld remotes where we can put a sensor in each room and when the remote gets to that room it automagically changes to control that room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danlevine Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 Thats sounds like an awesome idea. I'd be happy right now with just Backlighting.It may be do-able what you said by detecting the closest Zigbee Jump point, but that would definately involve Control4 because they would have to code it. I have a customer (even me personally) that constantly takes remotes from one room to another and he always complains that when he goes to change channels the channels in the other room change, lol.

AS2 Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Kinda dig those door handles. If only they could change color via ZigBee when the phone rings! one day, one day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BusBoy Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Let's all figure a hack for the handheld remotes where we can put a sensor in each room and when the remote gets to that room it automagically changes to control that room.No real need to "Hack" the remote... RFID does this already. Tag the remote with an RFID tag and have RFID recievers in each room. When RFID "remote #1" is detected in the living room RFID sensor it could (not sure how) tell C4 that and via serial connection kick off a script.While not a "Cheap" solution its a doable one if you know someone with RFID knowledge and parts availability.

I just know someone that works at the following company and we were kicking around idea like this on a different car sensing idea for my home... we hadnt even gotten to cost yet... just putting stuff on napkins Here the company -- [url']http://alientechnology.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
