Home Zone Publisher's Description:
Home Zone can trigger user-defined actions as specified Airport networks or Bluetooth devices appear/disappear from the location of your notebook.
WHAT'S NEW
Version 1.0b8:
* Made Bluetooth scan much faster (you'll need to remove and re-add your BT triggers, though)
* Added new actions: Stop Screensaver, Set default printer, Sync using iSync
Version 1.0b7:
* Made Bluetooth scan much faster, it now only scans for paired devices
* Implemented action plugin architecture
* Added new application icon (thanks to Louis)
Version 1.0b5:
*Changes the way that Home Zone scans for available Airport networks. First, you can set a custom scan interval in the new preferences dialog. The Airport scan interval is pretty short (5 seconds by default), but Home Zone performs a full broadcast (which leads more...to the short performance hits Stefan reported) only every tenth scan (and immediately after launch and waking up, so you're up to date). Also, you can now specify that a trigger should only recognise an Airport network when you're actually connected to that network, and you can enter one or more base station IDs (BSSIDs) so the trigger will only recognize the network when your base station has one of these BSSIDs. If you only have triggers that recognise connected Airport networks, Home Zone will skip the full broadcast scan altogether (except after launch and wake), so if you encounter wireless performance problems, switch all your triggers to "connected" only.
* You can force-enable or -disable zones via the status bar menu of each zone. By default, Home Zone will reset your override when the zone changes its state, but you can disable that in the preferences
* New action: Immediately start the screen saver
* The open file/URL action has been improved to support AppleScript files (.scpt) and executable files; if you want to run a shell script there, make sure it's executable
* You can specify that a zone should be considered active if none of its triggers are active. This seems illogical, but it's nice when you want to define an inverse zone, like "Not at home".
* New icon and website
Version 1.0b4:
* Detects hidden, but paired Bluetooth devices
* Setting system volume actions
* Now also checks immediately after waking up
* Availability icons in status bar menu
Version 1.0b2:
* You can define enter and leave actions for multiple zones, which can be triggered my multiple networks (all of them or any of them)
* You can enter custom ESSID names to get your invisible Airport network working (I guess you'll have to be connected to that network to enable that zone, though)
* You can select bluetooth devices as a zone trigger (only visible devices, I'll see if I can support invisible but paired devices)
* Home Zone will leave all zones when terminating, thereby re-enabling your password no matter what networks are visible.
