The ``esp32_ble_tracker`` component creates a global hub so that you can track bluetooth low
energy devices using your ESP32 node.

See :ref:`Setting up devices <esp32_ble_tracker-setting_up_devices>`
for information on how you can find out the MAC address of a device and track it using ESPHome.

.. note::

    The first time this component is enabled for an ESP32, the code partition needs to be
    resized. Please flash the ESP32 via USB when adding this to your configuration. After that,
    you can use OTA updates again.


Configuration variables:
------------------------

- **scan_interval** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-time`): The length of each scan.
  If a device is not found within this time window, it will be marked as not present. Defaults to 300s.
- **id** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-id`): Manually specify the ID for this ESP32 BLE Hub.
