Bluetooth Tracking
We're tracking both our cell phones so that the house knows who is home and when we arrived or left. A small consequence of that tracking is that we are also tracking everyone else within 100 metres (at least) of our house, including everyone that drives past the house in their cars.
So a small amount of coding and a simple table in the database gives us some interesting data about the comings and going of bluetooth devices near our house.
