Create a plugin app to turn lights on and off based on internal location

[eliotstocker]

figure it would be cool to use Find service to turn lights on or off based on location within the home
https://github.com/schollz/find

not sure what sort of battery ramifications there would be for running this all the time as a service but would be cool to turn lights on as you enter a room and off as you leave etc.

anyone interested in this?

I had been thinking of doing something similar, but instead using Bluetooth. You would be able to use a computer that already has Bluetooth or get a new beacon and the app would look for proximity.

Just looked up about FIND. Seems like the best way for location based on/off button. GPS will drain way more battery. So if location based will be integrated I think this might be the way to do it. I'm going to test the application using only 1 wifi router(since most have only 1). Ill report if it's any good without using more than 1 router at home.(I can test up to 3).

i had a play at my place where i only need one router, and it seemed to work pretty well. but i assume that is because it uses all SSIDs around rather than just yours, as i live in the middle of a city there is a lot of hotspots around me, perhaps this wouldn't work for people out in the styx
