Hi I'm trying to build what I think should be a simple project.
I want my arduino uno to do something like light a led or other things when my cell phone is paired via bluetooth and receives and call and or receives a text message.
Can anyone point me to a bluetooth module and or a library that will support this?
I don't need the arduino to do anything other then act as a "ring indicator".
Thanks for the help!
I believe you need at the other side of things...
You need to start looking at software/app for your PHONE..that will push this 'alert' via BLUETOOTH when a call is received.
The Arduino will then get this 'data' from the BT module it is connected to.. and light up an led (or whatever)
however.. the process starts at the phone level.
I would start by looking into the MIT App Inventor stuff to create an app for your phone.
I think activity starter or phone call component might be what you are looking to start playing with.

It isn't. You will either need to find a phone app that will send the signal over bluetooth or, I suspect, do some serious research into bluetooth protocols. The bluetooth modules normally used with Arduiono are plain SPP protocols. I think you will need something different. You might find it a lot less stressful to simply get a bluetooth remote. It will even tell you who the call is coming from.
Using a more advanced BT module should make it possible. Something like the BC127 or WT32i have the correct profiles to detect an incoming call. I think they both have programmable i/o pins, so you may not even need an arduino to flash an LED.

This is exactly what I don't want to do. Don't want to make a app.
If I can make it happen I want to use HFP(?) Protocol that would be good.

This BC127 sounds like it my work. I'll order one up and see what I can make happen.
Thanks for all the response!
