Netatmo Indoor Camera: Known person seen to device tracker

Hi all,

This is my first blueprint which set a MQTT device tracker to home when a person have been seen seen by a Netatmo Indoor camera and then will reset the state to not_home after a chosen delay

Open your Home Assistant instance and show the blueprint import dialog with a specific blueprint pre-filled.

netatmo_welcome_2_device_tracker.yaml

I find this a very interesting approach, could open some nice person specific automation.
Would like to test it but don’t really understand how to configure the MQTT part.
