I'm hoping to use this for room presence detection in Home Assistant. I have ESPresense running on some ESP32 boards, and it scans for bluetooth devices to tell which room we are in. (The default bluetooth ID that they transmit is anonymous without any specific ID, so it can't be used to track individual macbooks.)

The GUI version works great, but I'd like to run this in the background on all of our macbooks so I can track the iBeacon when it moves around the house. A launchctl plist would be great, so it starts on boot and runs in the background.

Are there any alternative projects I should check out, or is it possible to run this as a CLI tool without the GUI?

Another way would be to add the option to start advertising when the app is launched, start on boot, and add a way to start minimized and hide the GUI
