Some BLE devices use a privacy feature called Resolvable Private Addresses to stop businesses from tracking you when you are out with your smart devices. Instead of having a single static address that can be used to track you, its Bluetooth address changes frequently. If you have [Bluetooth](/integrations/bluetooth) enabled and functioning and know your device's Identity Resolving Key, you can add it to Home Assistant as a Private BLE Device. We can then work out which random MAC addresses are related to the IRK and track those.
In addition to telling you if your device is home or away, it can also tell you an estimated distance to the nearest Bluetooth dongle or proxy and its signal strength.
{% include integrations/config_flow.md %}
Your device must be on and broadcasting in range before adding it to Home Assistant - we check that it's visible to validate that your IRK is correct.
