espresense/ips captures all ble devices #13

Hi, Looking at the espresense/ips topic with an mqtt explorer I noticed that all my ble devices are captured. Is this desired/part of the code? Apart from the two fitbits all other devices are static. Was thinking that maybe we could use this somehow to increase the ips accuracy?.

I'm also wondering wether this has any impact over the battery powered ble devices (LYWSD03MMC xiaomi ble TH sensors for example)

You can enable the whitelist or blacklist on the webinterface of each esp32 with ESPresense installed and filter out or filter in only the devices you want :) it sure will help with cpu usage ;)

I actually allow anything with a name to work here, but no it's not really a great way of working.
