Combining passive and active data #172

Open rubdos opened 4 years ago

rubdos commented 4 years ago

My setup consists of (currently) two Wi-Fi passive scanners and some devices that do active scanning.

For my laptop, this means that I have an entry arch-club (which I set using find3-cli-scanner), and another wifi-94:65:9c:91:f4:4c. Is there any intent to have kind of an aliasing system, where two names can designate the same device?

It might also enable me to assign an alias to passively tracked devices (which only get their MAC address as identifier now).

Such functionality would be really useful. For example if I track my phone with wifi and my smart watch with bluetooth, i could "combine" them to one device to get a more precice position

phone with wifi and my smart watch with bluetooth,

That sounds rather "dangerous". I'd rather combine them after locating each of them in HA/OpenHAB. Then you can even check whether they are close or not.

I'm rather talking about tracking the same physical device in multiple ways: combine Bluetooth and WiFi with both active and passive scanners.
