shouldn't espresense "mqtt tag" every BT device with Room/Area value?

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Hi there

I'm new to HomeAssistant, but when I got espresense working and could see my Android phone showing up as a "sensor.my_droid" entity, I noticed it didn't have the "Area" field filled in. The m5atom I have is configured with via the espresense "Room" field with the same name as the HA "area" (and it shows up in HA with "area" filled in), so surely it would be a good idea to "forge" that field for associated BT devices in HA too? i.e. every time espresense decides a BT device is in a room, it should tell HA (via MQTT I presume) to set the area to the value it has too?

Thanks

Jason

Describe the solution you'd like

I'm trying to get automations working (I'm clueless) and I want to create a "if sensor.my_droid enters area=my_room, start music" kind of thing. I now know enough to know that isn't directly possible, but this "area" thing has stuck in my mind as a "tidier" thing to have?

ESPresense only knows the distance. It doesn't know which is lower. It takes listening to all the sensors to know that. ESPresense Companion does listen to them all so yes it could. But that's a seperate piece.
