Ideas

1. [GitHub] frenck/awesome-home-assistant - Add PadSpan HA to Bluetooth & BLE

• Source: Add PadSpan HA to Bluetooth & BLE frenck/awesome-home-assistant#775
• Strength: recap
• Area: automation
• Summary: [private person] is a BLE room-presence project focused on room-level tracking, calibration, follow mode, and floor-plan/dashboard views; it is relevant as inspiration for improving local presence-driven automations and kiosk presence UX.
• Suggested practical implementation: Add a [private person] automation package that consumes room-level BLE presence entities to hold lights on while a person remains in a room and to clear them faster after room exit, with a matching dashboard state chip showing the active room for tablet/kiosk views.
• Potential added value: This could reduce false-off lighting behavior, simplify occupancy logic by using clearer room-level signals, and make kiosk status more understandable at a glance.

Private person/location details were generalized for public tracking.
