device_tracker or device_tracker.see #4

Is there any way to use ESPresense as a device.tracker for a person enitity?

Or perhaps there's a way to use the device_tracker.see to pull information from ESPresense?

I have thought about adding that to the appdaemon companion app. You know any python?

So for this we need to add a mapping between devices and people, right? Is it one to one, or do we use multiple devices? If one device leaves is the person gone?

To me this looks to be an adjustment to device.tracker in HA. So when you are home it should show what room espresence has determined you in instead of just stating that you are home. Th fun part is that I think device.tracker uses GPS data to determine this. Not sure how this would work or if even possible.

The code in this repo will already take 3+ base stations and output latt/long per device. I though you wanted to roll up device to person. Make sense? Read the other issue if I'm not making any sense #2 .
