Brad Fitzpatrick has hacked his HTC G1 Android smartphone to apply it as a secure remote which can spread his abode ’s garage doorway as he have close to it . Using Wi - Fi , the cellphone mechanically terminate up an HTTP asking to his home host as soon as it ’s near enough , which triggers the first step as well as other role in the mansion . The system starts with the Wi - Fi digital scanner function of the Android : His programme call the WifiLock Robert William Service from the scheme - wide WifiManager , which fires requests every two seconds looking for the house radio set internet . This does n’t chance all the clip , so the waste product of shelling is less than what you think . The software system only activates when he agitate a release which basically tells the program that he ’s going back home . I get it on . If it requires a click and it take battery living , even if only a little , what ’s the point in time ? Why not get a normal remote ? Probably because he employ a minibike and he does n’t want to stop to find the remote control , click , and then keep on going , especially in winter . OK , who I ’m kidding . He probably did it because he need to feel Batmantastically coolheaded . [ BradviaAndroid Community ]
