Any smart bulbs we can still flash? Once they're set up and joined, I want to use the BT for presence detection.

Flash with ESPHome? Not that I'm aware of (but would be nice to know)

I'm happy with the Shelly bulbs, they work without internet shenanigans and can do MQTT, etc...

I have used Pi Zeros and ESPresense for prsence detection... seem to work ok, but if you're wanting to do room-level detection, (ie who's where), then that seems to be really difficult to tune the sensitivity
