Devices will appear in the format `devicetracker.<home hub ip>_<device mac address>`. Note that dots are removed from the IP and BT MAC addresses.
After running this component for a little while, you will likely see many devices appear. It's advisable to set the configuration to not discover new devices once the device you want to track have appeared (see [device tracker configuration][devicetrackerconfig] for details).
