Smart Phone Videos: Connect Bluetooth Headset to Garage Door Opener and Open with Your Smartphone

Visit www.BTmate.com for more info. Thieves won't be able to access your garage since they have to first click the "pair" button of the headset before their phone can pair to it -- which means they are already inside your garage. You put the headset in the garage and then you can open the garage door using your smart phone. Use a $1 transistor from Radio Shack to convert a Bluetooth Headset into a secure Garage Door Opener. DIY for under $20 and in under 20 minutes or we can build and test it for you for $59 including shipping and an Android App. Reliable and heavily tested. To add other phones just go into your garage, hold down the Talk button of the Headset and select "Pair" on your smartphone. Will not interfere with existing garage door remotes. Works with any Bluetooth enabled smartphone, Blackberry, iPhone, Palm, Android, etc. Note I did this project in response to the following question on Y-Combinator's Application: "Describe a hack of your own creation that does not involve a computer." I am hoping Y-Combinator funds my software company next Spring. The software does not involve Bluetooth technology. Thanks for your interest and for all the views.
