Does anyone know if there is function available to detect when I am home by detecting my mobile wifi presence ( I know the technology is available as there is an app for android phones that detects wifi presence and acts accordingly)

So I would like it to detect me personally then obviously act accordingly with some preset macro, or is there another way of doing this ?

Thanks

Let me make sure I understand.

You walk into the house with your Droid, or iPhone -- wifi enabled.
You'd like some device to detect the wifi signal and take some action?



I have no idea if there is an appliance, but I know how I'd do it with a DHCP server and Linux.
If that helps.

Not sure if this is exactly what you're looking for but worth a read:

Currently BlueWatch doesn't watch wifi how ever it may in the future.

There is a program that does some network IP watching called Xping
you may be able to get it to do what your after.
