Home Zone is a software that provides a simple way to enable or disable password protection for your screen saver. This can help you easily manage access to your device and protect your privacy.
Home Zone is a software tool that is specifically designed to help users enable or disable screen saver password protection based on the appearance or disappearance of certain Bluetooth devices or Airport networks. In order to use it, one must have an airport card and/or Bluetooth capability.
The latest release of Home Zone has many new features, including the addition of a network IP/host trigger, Airport enable/disable actions, and iChat/Adium status action. The software has an intelligent trigger evaluation that allows it to check easier triggers first and skip unnecessary checks of harder triggers. The order of the triggers is as follows: Network, Airport, Bluetooth. This way, users can save Bluetooth power by defining a network/airport trigger where "any" trigger is sufficient to determine availability. Likewise, users can reduce airport scan load by defining a network IP trigger with their router's IP address instead.
The software is highly responsive and it is possible to rearrange the execution order of actions by simply dragging them around. It's also important to note that if users have any custom actions they want to keep, they should copy them to ~/Library/Application Support/Home Zone/Actions/ as Home Zone updates will override them. All in all, Home Zone is a useful software tool that makes it easy to manage screen saver password protection based on location.
