Using Cell phone as an RFID tag?
Interested in making a phone that uses wifi into an RFID tag such that the crestron processor can poll IP addresses on the network and determine if myself or my wife is home based on whether or not our phones are connected to the in house wifi.
Is it possible? has anyone done it? I imagine if it was done, it was probably through simpl+?? |

Console command just like you would from the command line:

You could ping an IP address using the console symbol, BUT it locks up the
entire program while it's waiting to time out. Not recommended, especially if there's any likelihood that the device is going to be offline during regular use. I generally only use it to detect some sort of catastrophic failure that results in power-cycling the connected device to bring it back -- not something that's supposed to happen on a regular basis. If your phone has any open ports, you might be able to find it using a TCP connection. Otherwise I think you'd need to run the ping on a PC, or some other device that can do more than one thing at once (maybe a stray QM-RMC?)

Possible with ubiquiti UniFi wifi system.
Not sure if standard ap would give you an option to get the necessary data. Also, you could use dd-wrt router and poll it for dhcp leases to match your desired mac address.

Not sure how soon you need this but Crestron showed an NFC based control at

CEDIA. Believe it was called 'air connect'. It was rather cool. Uses standard RFID tags and a version of Crestron mobile that talks to the phone's NFC chip. How soon that Crestron mobile version will be available remains to be seen... Tray == -----Original Message-----

Is this where multiple programs in a 3-series would be beneficial? Does a ping lock up the program, or the processor? Could you dedicate a program just to tracking IPs once every 15 seconds, then EISC the status back to your main program? If not, a dedicated QM-RMC would do the job nicely.

Haven't tried it on 3-series yet, sorry.

Is there documentation on how to poll a dd-wrt router?

Use a Cisco or HP managed switch and poll it for the MAC associated with
the phones. When it is connected to the port of your WiFi, you are home. On Wed, Sep 19, 2012 at 7:13 AM, Ken Brunner <kenbrunner69@...> wrote: ** [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] |

It's better to run a script on the router to inform you when desired Mac address connects or disconnects - faster reaction time and easier for the processor. On Sep 19, 2012, at 4:13 PM, "Ken Brunner" <kenbrunner69@...<mailto:kenbrunner69@...>> wrote:

Is there a way to have crestron send a ping and monitor the result? If so, you could set your cell phone's mac addresses in your router as static dhcp, (so they always pull the same IP when they connect) and then send out a ping at an interval like 60 seconds or 5 minutes or something... Just a thought... I am also interested in doing this. I want to use it to auto-disarm my alarm and unlock my door on arrival home eventually.
