I'm looking to see if anyone knows of any bluetooth style triggers thatcan be integrated withmy Prop-1 boards.  I am currently using FM transmitters (a la car alarm remotes) and was hoping to be able to use my cell phone to trigger them.

Any ideas?

You might be able to use this (~$180us):

Unlike RF controllers, bluetooth radios appear to be a serial cable replacement, rather than a wireless remote controller.  Most bluetooth radios that I have seen send digital bit streams, not an on/off relay closure like car alarm keyfobs and the like.
