Multiple watches, example?

Hi @dalehumby

First of all - great work! Thanks!

Can you possibly provide an example of a setup with multiple watches (different generations) and multiple ESPs (in different rooms) giving me binary_sensors.presence for each person in HA?

I would very much like to use this for tracking wether my wife, the kids or myself are at home or not.

Thanks!

I detects all watches, eg here from my surroundings (3 diff watches)

But they all report as one watch back to HA

@stofakiller for the 3 watches, are they all Apple Watches and are they all different models of Watch? Ie Watch 4, 5 and 6?

commented

In my case both are different models one a series 5 and one a series 6. I would want to be able to identify which one is in the room if not both. As this will tell me who it is in a way. Any ideas on how to get that done?

Some are my neighbors, so i dont know, but i think the code finds all possible watches...

So far i cant find anything usefull in the data from the watch, i found out to change the code to my phone, so i think i'll try to make it track both my phone and my watch at the same time...

It's been a while, but have you done this?

I have given up on it for the time being. Without being able identify the exact device it won't work for my use case.
