Exploring Device Tracking and Automation Solutions

Hi everyone! I’m really excited to dive into the world of device tracking and automation. I recently came across Trackerjacker, a tool that allows you to track devices on Wi-Fi networks you’re not connected to. It sounds like a game-changer for monitoring devices around the house without being tied to a specific network. I’m curious if anyone has integrated this with Home Assistant and how it’s been working for them. :male_detective:

On another note, I’ve been experimenting with setting up MQTT integration in Home Assistant. While it works seamlessly through the UI, I’m running into issues when configuring it via configuration.yaml. The logs show an initialization failure, and I’m not sure where to start troubleshooting. Has anyone encountered similar issues or have tips on how to resolve this? :thinking:

Lastly, I’m exploring ways to automate my bathroom fan using a humidity sensor. The Aeon Multisensor I have works, but the battery life isn’t great. I’m on the hunt for a more efficient solution that doesn’t require wiring. Any recommendations or experiences to share would be amazing! :bulb:

Looking forward to hearing your insights and experiences! :blush:
