This accessory will create a motion sensor linked with a Bluetooth device.
When the device is found, the motion sensor is triggered. When the device is not seen for longer than gracePeriod
, the motion sensor will stop detecting movement.
The plugin will show the history history in the Elgato's Eve app.
