The easiest and most effective way to detect presence is to use so called "Bluetooth beacon" devices. Normally, most of Bluetooth devices broadcast messages, however there are some devices that try to hide themselves from receivers providing privacy for their owners. Many of modern mobile phones (iPhone and Android) every so often (roughly every 10 minutes) randomly generate a new Bluetooth address and abandon old one making it impossible to track them by its address. |
The latter part being a problem I think.

What I do notice, it the the name of the devices is rarelt rarely present, and that the MAC address rarely matches the MAC addresses found in openHAB. That is currently an ongoing investigation. Any good clues here? Feel free to mail me at bnp@mos-eisley.dk or drop a comment There are several lookup tools like https://macaddresschanger.com/bluetooth-mac-lookup that should help, but I find the reliability of them low... often my MACs are not resolved to a Vendor |
