As some people on this list know, I am a volunteer fireman. One of the problems with bush fires is the need to get into, and out of the fire station quickly. Sometimes the firemen leave so fast that no-one is aware that they are at the fire ground. Currently I am trying to write a program that will register the firemen's mobile phones if they are near, or in the vicinity of the fire station. What I would like to know is; has anybody tried scripting the bluetooth connection to check what is available in the vicinity of their computer?


I'd recommend looking at Salling Clicker <http://www.salling.com/>. It's very scriptable and can "sense" a bluetooth phone in the vicinity of its computer. Unfortunately it costs a bit of money.

The problem I see with what you're trying to do is the limited range of bluetooth.
