iBeacons and a a mobile allow you to know not just where you are, but whether you are close to an iBeacon.
This can be used with a stationary iBeacon to just enhance our current device_tracking.
But there is at least one more case with mobile iBeacons tht might be useful.
If I arrive home by foot - I don't want HA to open my gate. But if I arrive home in the car I do.
So If I put an IBeacon in my car - OwnTracks will know what I'm in the 'car' region (and can tell HA).
OwnTracks will also update HA on my location as usual.
So to support this I think we'd need a new type of location which supports presence - but only based on enter/exit events - not based on location. Thoughts?
PS There are other use cases. If you put an iBeacon on your keys - you want to know the `key beacon exit' event - and have it trigger a HA notification to tell you you've forgotten your keys - and where you were when you forgot them..
