People based "current user in location X" for use with Bermuda (and maybe others) Tracker?

Changed from Format BLE Tracker to Bermuda since the former was just marked deprecated.

I notice that the device_tracker entities specified in the People config for users is intended for location to Zones and not Areas, so the device_tracker state just resolves to home or away. But it seems to me that either this concept should be expanded or a parallel one created that lets you specify the device sensors (or rename them trackers) that locate to an Area.

What would really be useful would be to wrap this in a function that would determine the current user viewing the dashboard, find the relevant area tracker/sensors and return the consensus of what area the user is in. Then Visibility conditions for cards could just be “if the user is in the Family Room”…

Anyone working towards this?
