https://github.com/agittins/bermuda Smart homes are dumb unless you are presence aware. Looking at your phone to do a thing is just moving a light switch to your hand. The Who is — does the automation make sense for one or many people. If two people are in a room what happens? If one person leaves what happens? Esp32’s are pivotal in actually making a smart home predict what you want making the home more of a friend, “get on up there Peter Townsend.”

If you have multiple fixed BLE receivers, you can do full trilateration. This project integrates into Home Assistant using HA proxy BLE receivers to track phones moving around in your house: https://github.com/agittins/bermuda

Are there any plans to add automations based on People and Areas (not zones)? I found the cool project Bermuda[0] and it triggers person entered/left area events based on bluetooth devices. This works great in my testing with a phone being tracked by Shelly switches. But I can't seem to find a way to actually make these events do anything. It would be even better if I didn't have to set up area specific automations at all and just be able to say "turn on the lights in an area to 20% if someone enters it after sunset". Thanks for all your great work! [0] https://github.com/agittins/bermuda
