Thank you for the advice on the bluetooth set, that makes sense. Don't worry, this is not for a suicide vest. I just figured consumers would want small products rather than large, so this would be good practice. Basically I started thinking about this after watching the craftsman assurelink garage door opener (lets you open and close garage from phone). For my project, I basically just want to count how many times a button gets pressed. For example, if a garage door gets pressed 100 times then the phone would record 100 presses. I don't want to have to connect to the internet though, I'd prefer to just send a wireless singal (like the bluetooth you suggested). If anyone has any other helpful advice I would appreciate it, as this is a tough project for me. In the example above, the part I would struggle with is having the garage door button send a signal that can be picked up by the phone.

Thanks for the help so far.
