User Reviews

  • Would you consider in a future release to allow more then one bluetooth devices in the whitelist? I use BlueProximity and Raspberry Pi's GPIOs for automating some tasks ie. Opening my garage's door when I get close to it with my phone in my pocket. It works brilliantly but I would like to grant access to other members of the family too. I would be grateful. Thank you for your time and concern.
  • Since it is Python based??? could a Windows release be made available. I am a Windows user and would not know where to start to get it working with Windows. Sorry, sorry, sorry ... ;-)
  • Does exactly what it says. Works beautifully. Also prevents my name from landing on a security audit report for having my machine unlocked and unattended.
  • It may be better with password protection for configuration. Still it's a very good tool! Good job!
  • Still a bit buggy - not locking and unlocking as expected, but this is a fantastic idea!!
