Open front door using Bluetooth

Well, this is the start of a description of a project I recently finished! I can open my front door, without even touching the door, using my phone! Here is a preview of what I used for this and what's to come on this blog:

- Java MIDlet on my phone,
- Java application on a server near the front door that listens for incoming requests,
- Integrated Circuit (IC) which opens up the front door,
- Interface to that IC, using the serial port of the server.

Check out the video below to see it working in action!
