want it to detect that I've entered the room

This is a thing. If you don't want motion sensors and you want it to know your cousin from your cat, Cisco and others can pinpoint the location of people on a real time map (like that map in Harry Potter) by your cell or Bluetooth.

Local cops use it to log where people were during concerts and events and see who was nearby when a bad thing happened.
