Trying to add an image here....

So I could maybe use the signal strength in e.g. the Inkbird integration (there are others, but there is an integration for those too.)

If a device is out of range it will for many of these devices go unavailable at the same time the device tracker would, because availability tracking is implemented in the shared code.

#

So the device tracker would only say home or away. Home maps to “has a value” and away maps to “unavailable”

#

Xiaomi ble and BTHome have some exceptions for “sleepy” devices, but yours are all advertising constantly so it might be fine.

I think I'll work with the RSSI as a numeric state. Gives me more info than just home or away. thanks for the responses - you got me to think outside the box.
