Simple windows batch script to limit speed based if u r home

[discosrule]

Wrote a little windows batch script that limits the SAB download speed when I am home and thought I would share it, not sure if there is a simple function elsewhere, but I use it for other uses as well.

How it works....
It does this by pinging my smartphone (static ip!!) on my wifi network and if it responds with a successful ping then it will limit the download queue via the api. If not it will try again after a 1 minutes. When 10 minutes has passed and it hasn't heard from the device it will set SAB to unlimited download speed.

Enjoy and please be nice, new to coding and windows batch files is all I know.... for now

Cool.

FWIW: I've written a tool to detect who's at home based on:

- ARP-table in my routermodem. ARP shows the link between IP address and MAC address, see below. So no need for a static IP address
- bluetooth vicinity, measured from my Raspi

Code: Select all

ZySH> show arp
IP address       HW type     Flags  HW address         Mask     Device

Mumm.... Might play with arp on my modem.

Interested in your Bluetooth setup? If u care to share? (Here or offline). I have another setup that I'm working on that uses the GPS location of my phone to do things x distance from home.

See the bluetooth commands below. FYI: this is on Linux. I don't what's available on Windows.

Code: Select all

From the back of my head: unconnected and/or hidden iOS devices *do* react to one of the two commands. I believe the l2ping. So that's good news: as long as you know the 6-byte-BT-address, you can check for it's presence ...
