Presence detection with low cost BLE devices and Raspberry Pi/Zero W

I’ve made some headway on getting BLE beacon tracking working on the ESP32. If anyone is interested in adding some more detection nodes to their room presence system, I’d love you to check it out.

The discussion thread is here, and you can get the code from the GitHub repo. Building and uploading is done via PlatformIO.

@smart you can use any number of beacon apps on your phone to get the ID of your beacons. I use NRF Connect on my Android phone. You can also use the app to configure the beacon to modify the default settings. For example, I changed the TX power setting on my key fob so it would report accurate distances.
