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.
