An ESP32 based presence detection node for use with the Home Assistant mqtt_room component for localized device presence detection. This is a fork/rewrite of ESP32-mqtt-room.

• ESP32 base stations are cheaper and easier to use than Rasberry Pis
• Extensive fingerprint based ids instead of mac addresses so we can track or count things others can’t
• IRK based enrollment of Apple devices to passively uniquely locate even with private random addresses
• Home Assistant MQTT Discovery for easy HA configuration
• Auto-updates by downloading github released bin (with a preference if you don’t want this)
• Filters measured distance with both a median prefilter and a 1Euro filter (reduces jitter for more accuracy)

Required

• Base Stations
• Beacons/Phones/Watches
• MQTT Server

Optional

• Sensors
