ESPresense

An ESP32 based presence detection node for use with the Home Assistant mqtt_room component for localized device presence detection.

Differences from ESP32-room-assistant:

• Uses a fingerprint instead of mac addresses so we can track randomized mac devices (like Apple Watches and iOS devices)
• Fully supports using Tiles as trackers
• Filters rssi via a 3 value media filter with a Kalman filter on top
• Fully multithreaded, uses constant BLE scanning
• Additional AppDaemon app will post process mqtt topics into ips topic (x,y,z) and (latt,long,elevation)
