iBeacon support #646

Homeassistant has a pretty nice integration for espresense. These are esp32 modules that use BLE to track beacons. Put one of these esp32's in every room you want to track and you have a nice system for tracking BLE device movements.

They do however depend on a BLE beacon. Both android and iphones switch their BLE MAC in order to prevent tracking unless you switch on the BLE beacon. The homeassistant app has a switch built into their app to switch this on so this functionality could be "re-used".

It would be really nice to add this to the domoticz app but with a little change: it only switches on if you are within the geofence of your house. That way, you cannot be tracked ourtside the safety of your home (malls and stuff).

Would be great if this could be added.
