A while ago I had dabbled with ZigBee and wrote a sample to show how a thermostat can communicate via ZigBee to a PC which can graphically show the temperature; the idea was to develop a remote interface using which the homeowner can control various aspects(like security, thermostat, lights etc) all controlled and communication over ZigBee. But somewhere along the idea crumbled to a horrible death :) and I lost the contact who was providing me with the ZigBee controllers and APIs etc.
Few years fast forward and still I find that there are opportunities and possibilities to develop interesting utilities using wireless technologies. BlueTooth is very promising Here is an implementation on JSR 82 in Java - it is called BlueCove (http://bluecove.org/).
The latest implementation is available here:
http://snapshot.bluecove.org/distribution/download/2.1.1-SNAPSHOT/2.1.1-SNAPSHOT.63/
I just played with the samples and they worked fine...check it out... I have something in mind and once I am through I will share more...
