WTH is this iBeacon

Running the latest version of HA with my Bluetooth proxy via ESPHome now and I’m now connected to some iBeacon. How do I figure out what this thing is?

It’s in the release notes: iBeacon Tracker - Home Assistant

Yeah I get that, but there is no nice description WTF the device actually is. I see distance (doesn’t say from what could be a proxy or HA), power, signal strength, along with a unique ID. Not helpful!

I second this question!

I turned on the integration and get a bunch on bluetooth devices, some home, some away. Nothing useful at all to help me identify what the device is.

I tried to download a BLE Scanner on my phone but none of the UUIDs match so still none the wiser.

Would love to know which devices are being picked to see if i could use the in HA.
