Thank you for your detail video, I have everything running HA, MQTT, and ESPresense, I want to keep track room presence by using apple watch, I got irk value, added in file editor as describes, added in ESpresence scanning 32 hex irk key, I see mqtt room presesne in settings and can see my watch name, but when I check the state is shows me not_home, I don't know what i am missing here, I went through all step and check everything, just missing something that I am not getting , any help would be appreciated, Thank you!!
Lots of people don't wear a watch nowadays (e.g., none in my extended family), the keys are left by the door, and the phone is wherever whenever, and in my home we have 2 phones between the 4 of us, since kids don't have their own phones, but they occasionally use our phones for games or videos or music. Anything tracking BT is just not going to work. I'm shocked if it would work for the majority of households. That said, when we're looking for some phone it'd be useful to know in which room it is, but there are other, simpler solutions to that.
Hi I need some help @ 34:40 in the video when I check the overview tap I do not see the device/devices I added to the configuration please help anyone thank you I do see the esp32 devices setup from mqtt but not my devices I'm trying to track like (phone,tablets,etc...)
You can use a browser based Bluetooth scanning feature for Xiaomi ble devices to find your Mac addresses, or a Bluetooth scanner app. Certainly much better than trying to use the built-in scanning

Hey, I really like your profile picture and if you let me, I would make such an amazing mural out of it! If you don’t mind one of your post could be my inspiring muse for an art project i’m working on for a client. You will totally get paid for it as well as a bonus also get credits.
Might not be a good look to run a continuous animation in a significant area of the screen just jumps all over the place when you edit your talking head. Quite jarring.
I can't express how much discomfort I felt on seeing several minutes blurred information... I was watching this on the TV and searched the video on my phone to comment this out. Please try to avoid that! I know the content was good, but I couldn't finish watching because of that
When there's information on screen that's blurred out, it's for a reason, either privacy or security. Sorry if it causes discomfort. The alternative is to blank it out with a plain colour.
Done this year's back .. not reliable unfortunately .. because the BLE may detect you in the wrong room depending on the house layout no mater what you do .. I since moved to something more precise however it's not for everyone ..
I've been toying with the idea of setting up a web-store. Certainly not a bad idea to have "pre-flashed" ESP's as a listing.... I'll add it to my "to-do" list ;)
Great video mate, very in-depth. That said, I can’t get this working. I have spent hours troubleshooting this but not really getting anywhere. I feel that I am missing something. Do you have any sample configs that you could share? Also, when you restart HA in your video after editing your configuration, your sensors just magically show which rooms your devices are in… where did you mention the part about making that part work? Is there an integration that is required? Cheers.
I tried to use Enroll to add my devices, but after timing out, it never added them. I thought there would have been a pairing function but didn’t see one.
Click enroll name your Device you want to add and click enroll then open Bluetooth on device and click on espresence to connect when it has disconnected then the device has been added and you can see it in the fingerprints and then you can copy then you can use the name under fingerprints to and to home assistant
