    @hek When you say you inverted the polarity... are you talking about VCC and GRD? or Rx and TX?

          @Konrad-Walsh At the end I got the HC06 to work, I'm finally understanding all of this, if you tell me what you're trying to accomplish and the code u have I might be able to help. Also the module you're using.

            I really like this idea, but for it to be effective we need to measure the decibel level of the connection and not just connected/disconnected state. Is this possible?

              @Øyvind-A.-Espnes I haven't tried it, but with the AT+INQM command you can specify wether you want the RSSI of the device when issuing the AT+INQ command. This document can better explain it.

              After that it should just be a matter of parsing the resulting string and extract the signal strength.

                I was thinking about going this route, but until last weekend I was using Tasker and having it tell Vera that I am here when my phone connects to my Wifi. I bought a new phone and I can't get it to stay connected when it hasn't been used in a while, so I have to rethink...

                While a Mysensors option could be good, what I am going to do is use my many Android tablets that I have throughout my home and have them always searching my my mobile. With them all throughout my home, I won't have to worry about bluetooth range.

                Sorry it isn't a Mysensors option, but I thought I would share what I am going to do :-)

                    @hek

                    Hi,

                    Did you get anywhere with this? I would like to build a bluetooth sensor myself but since this is an old thread, I am not really sure if the market has been modernized a little with bluetooth devices..

                    Thanks!

                      Sorry, no. Realised modern phones BT goes into sleep mode which means they don't announce themselves for longer periods. Kind of made it meaningless for the application.
