Presence detection server for Happy Bubbles Bluetooth beacon-based presence detection system.
This add-on is in a deprecated state!
The Happy Bubbles project/company announced in 2018, that they would take a break. Two years later, they still haven't returned and at this point, it seems unlikely that that will every happen.
See: https://www.happybubbles.tech/blog/post/2018-hiatus/
The time has come to deprecate this add-on because of the above. If you are still in need of running a Happy Bubbles presence server, please refer to the official Happy Bubbles site.
This add-on is a server that subscribes to MQTT topics that the "Happy Bubbles" Bluetooth Beacon Presence Detectors publish to. It checks to see which of the detectors found the strongest signal for a particular beacon, and then lets you access that info either over an API, or a web interface.
It is designed to be used as a home-automation presence detection system. If you install the detectors through-out a home and family members carry beacons around the house, you can program your home automation hubs to take certain actions depending on who entered or left certain rooms.
This add-on also publishes changes in location to a particular topic. So you can program your hub to listen for these and make the desired changes as they happen, to not have to keep polling it.
