  • That wouldn’t really work for treacking Apple devices since they randomize their MAC addresses. Which is why I’ve added them using private ble integration in HA. It is able to detect their presence (or lack of it) via my ESPHome devices which are set up as Bluetooth proxies. What I would like though is know which room are they in - I have an ESP32 device in pretty much every room, and I wish I could leverage them without adding dedicated ESPresence ones.







  • Couldn’t agree more. ZHA is supposed to be more simple to use, but if one is already using HA it’s not going to be long before they reach its limits. Zigbee2MQTT has better device support and more features. While the basic setup may be a little bit more complicated than ZHA you get the benefits mentioned earlier, and you don’t really need to understand all of its functionality from the start - you can learn as you go.
