@Viss And here I am struggling to figure out how to use ANY sort of BT device I can stuff in my bag as a way to determine if I'm home or not

@hellomiakoda home assistant can do that for you! its called 'presence detection' and its built into the platform by design! you can also do it at the network level if youre running a unifi network, because HA can talk to unifi as well, and it can straight up tell 'is my phone on the network'. and from there you can write automations! :D

@Viss Yeah, I know. I was using "is my phone on the network" and found it kept falsely triggering that I'm away.

One of the few things I miss from my Android phone was the HA app telling my server where I am with GPS.
