Hi! Using esphome version 2022.1.4 with a Wemos D1 Mini ESP32 I'm getting restarts after about 5 minutes. Log

It depends on ESP version of board which you are using. I had some boards that just aren't for bluetooth as they would crash. I don't have issues with this detection on 1 wifi only board and 3 ethernet boards that I tried so far.

I posted it here as well and it seems I'm not the only one! https://github.com/esphome/issues/issues/3039

Hi @jcastro - In the meantime, could you try changing

    window: 500ms

to something lower, like 100ms, or even 50ms. This might reduce the load on the CPU reducing crashes. It does lower the chance of you watch being detected, so might take longer to change from present to not present.
