Last night, I was playing with a little Bluetooth tag the host of a hackathon gave out to all the attendees. I threw some pictures up here: https://sidnicio.us/btle-tag.html https://sidnicio.us/btle-tag.html It supports BTLE, so you can talk to it without any pairing and leave it turned on without (supposedly) using much power. If your computer has the right hardware, it should be incredibly easy to write a program which listens for button presses. I used an iOS app called LightBlue to poke at it. The app lets you scan for BTLE devices and read/write/subscribe to properties. I love the idea of dedicated hardware controls for computers. I thought of making this a work-in-progress commit button, which quickly makes a “WIP” commit to your current project. Maybe other people have even cooler ideas?
