I think we sort of hijacked this thread. My guess is if somebody approached the manufacturer of this equipment they may consider making a home automation receiver with a dry contact or Wi-Fi output that plugs into a receptacle.
Vehicles are starting to all come these devices so this would be a natural evolution.
Are you talking about an activity that needs to be peformend on the phone to unlock gates, doors, etc?
I want to find something that the user doesn't have to do anything about. In other words, drive the car up the driveway and the garage door automatically opens since it knows my car from yours.
No. Tracker is an app on an Android phone that you set a geographic location and a radius. When that "zone" is triggered there are many options of what you want it to do. Those include: turn on /off your Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, send a text message, email, run a URL etc... These things can trigger events in a HA system (like ISY994i) and that system can do all the rest of the things.
I do not have this installed yet. I tried a cheap version of it but wasn't happy with the options. I think tracker runs about $3.95.
Some use it without the GPS (running on tower triangulation only) and then when less than say 2km from home they turn on their GPS to get more accurate tracking within a few metres that triggers a zone of about 30-50m from their home. Another zone with a radius of 10m may unlock doors and/or turn on lights if it is dark. When you drive away Tracker can turn off your Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and GPS circuitry to save battery power.
