As a homeowner, the idea of knowing the exact number of people on my property at any time is attractive. Heck, I'm pricing out a new fence to keep deer out, and it would be much cheaper to just have a system that turns the sprinklers on whenever one is detected.
But the ethical implications are wild. Unless I'm mistaken, someone could use this link today to track the activities of the couple in the apartment next door, and they would have no way to know it is happening.
This looks cool, but does it actually work? It's formatted like the code companion to a research paper, but it's actually just one of hundreds of jargon-heavy vibe-coded experiments from a random GH user (as a promo vehicle for his $1500/hr consulting business [1]).
The agent did a decent(ish) job of imitating the paper-with-code form, but we have no way of knowing if the creator even bothered to test it with real hardware. Doesn't inspire quite enough confidence for me!

I do think it would be rather useful to have BLE and wifi tracking for all entities approaching or moving around your home or business
I think some stores already use BLE tracking of mac addresses to follow customers around
