Hello guys !
We have a particular need for a client that would like to have a relay triggered when various vehicules reaches a proximity of 30-40 feet from the receiver. I am sure there is a cheap way to acheive this using some X10 (or other technology) RF devices such as MS16A motion sensors ( hacked if needed ) or other RF module.
Basically, we need the relay to stay on as long as signal is in range of 30-40 feet and off when signal is out of bound.
The transmitters have to be inside the vehicule and easy to swap between vehicules. I was thinking about MS16A devices because they work perfectly with X10 RF receivers and range seems to be what we need. We could hack this unit to be powered from the vehicule 12V and have it send a on signal constantly but I am not sure if hacking the House/on button will actually have it send the signal constantly and there is still a problem on the receiver side which needs to have relay @ on the whole time it sees the transmitter and off as soon as transmitter signal is lost.
Any suggestions will be appreciated, I am confident in X10 RF signal but I need to find the right modules or hack them the right way if possible.
Thx guys !
