Device tracking is not really the aim of this integration, although it is possible for devices have a fixed MAC address or send beacon messages. You need to add the mac manually in the options and enable track device. https://custom-components.github.io/ble_monitor/configuration_params#track_device

Problem is that most phones have a rotating MAC address, preventing it from being tracked. So, better to use a beacon device on your keyring.
