@andrewjb44 @doteveryting Hey AJB, One of the reasons we made Dot was the reason you listed. That's a fantastic use case. One of the cool aspects of Bluetooth 4.0 is that we can perform actions simply by walking into range. The user receiving the notification must be paired with a Dot, but with Bluetooth 4.0, this process happens in less than .5s. I apologize for that. There was a typo in our email. It should be fixed now!

@andrewjb44 @doteveryting Yea sorry, we misunderstood your question on Twitter. Dot isn't connected to the internet directly. It does need a connected device to send the notification. So say you had two people using 1 Dot. When your son enters the house, his app will recognize his presence in that area and then communicate with the app on your phone.

Amazing application of Beacons! But I'm curious, what's the 'reverse range' on this? I mean, can you specify that u only want a notification when you're within 15ft for ex?

@sandrojazzar You can definitely specify that you only want a notification within 15 ft. We've designed it so that you can specify the exact range you want something to trigger away from the Dot. In practice, this is has been pretty accurate with a standard margin of a couple inches to 1 or 2 feet.

The upcoming Dot is something worth checking out. They are using beacons to add real world context to your smartphone. If your phone can accurately track where you are and have some sense of what you’re doing throughout your day, then you can program it to send you intelligent and relevant information or better yet, it'll happen automatically. Dot has the potential to make your home and / or office that much more techy!
