<p>Ttocsnodrog: /* What is the purpose? */</p> <hr /> <div>[[Category: Hardware| ]]<br /> [[Category:Bluetooth]]<br /> <br /> ==What is the purpose?==<br /> &lt;p&gt;If you have Bluetooth in the computer that you will use as a LinuxMCE Media Director, this device [http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Control_LinuxMCE_using_a_Symbian_Series_60_mobile_phone_with_Bl turns your mobile phone into a remote control] and gives you &quot;follow-me&quot; capabilities--your lighting preferences, media and more can follow you around the house.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Requirements and Compatibility==<br /> &lt;p&gt;Runs on both Linux, using the Bluez library, and Windows, using the standard Windows/Widcom drivers. Although it should work with all Bluetooth devices, we always use USB Bluetooth dongles with the CSR chipset for both Windows and Linux. The D-Link DBT-120 and TDK are some of the more common models.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Turning off automatic discovery==<br /> To prevent LinuxMCE from finding bluetooth devices outside of your home the autodetection (of any BT device) can be turned off as followed: [http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php?topic=3139.msg16493#msg16493]<br /> # Login in Web Admin<br /> # Go to Advanced -&gt; Configuration -&gt; Devices<br /> # Open the CORE/MD where is located your bluetooth device<br /> # Open DCERouter and click on Orbiter Plugin<br /> # Check the Ignore check box under &quot;Device data&quot;.<br /> <br /> Turn it back on again to autodetect new devices you're adding to the network, after which you can turn it off again once they're added.</div>
