Hi,
Does anyone use Google Home Mini for Bluetooth LE tags presence detection?
How often Google Home mini check the presence?
Is it a good way for presence detection?
I am thinking about Trackr Pixel to use with BLE.
Yes people did - until Google changed the API to require authentication. It had the slight downside of flooding your entity list with every Bluetooth device that it ever saw.
IMO if you’re looking to use Bluetooth, check out monitor instead.

I got it working again, but like Tinkerer said, Google can change the API at anytime and make it unusable unless a workaround is implemented. My method is what I used to get room presence working with our Pixel 3 phones.
What about Raspberry Pi Zero W BLE? Do you know any step-by-step guide because I can’t find a good one?
Did you look at monitor?
Yes I did, but I can’t find a good guide there. I am not developer.
If you already have the Pi installed, just follow https://github.com/andrewjfreyer/monitor#setup-monitor
