Set gps "safe" areas, and then set ON bluetooth only when I am outside of them #168

This feature is useful to preserve battery and for automation.

When I leave home (about 200 meters area) I wish that AirGuard set bluetooth ON, and it set OFF when I get these areas (for example my home or work office) again.

Set OFF is performed only if ON has been made by AirGuard to avoid accidentally off when I listen music with paired accessories like ear buds.

You can also adding a whitelist (not shutoff bluetooth while these devices are paired).

Might want to wait until potential trackers disappear too?

We could introducing also a blacklist with a kind of ranking with devices that have tracked for more time/distance than other ones.

It's a good idea but you would increase the time until a tracker is recognized. Most trackers are installed at home, so this would not be a safe area. If the app sees the tracker earlier it can warn of it quicker
