Use with home automation

Hi,

A great feature can be the possibility to use irbeacon with home automation.
Two things for that:
- possibilty to bluetooth pairing with antoher device
- an api to execute command.

So with that, irbeacon permitt to control a lot of device with home automation!

When a precence in detect by a sensor in my tv room, the home automation can switch on tv for exemple.

Hope you find this idea usefull

Re: Use with home automation

I thought I read on the IR Beacon site that it would work with IFTT but don't see anything about it on the IRBeacon site or IFTT Channels.  What's the plan for this? 

I use Sonus, Spotify, and Tunein with my home audio.  What I would like is two things:
1. When I walk into a room with my Android device, I want the IRBeacon to turn on the stereo and IFTT to play a particular radio station that I have programmed.

2. When I've left a room for at least 10 minutes, I want IRBeacon to turn off the stereo.

Am wedded to Sonus and Tunein, but am open to any alternative to IFTT that gets the job done.
