Some whole house audio and presence detection use cases
Also, I am using the bluetooth on the Pi to drive Room Assistant, to tell which room I'm in and automatically switch on the audio in that room when I am in that room, and switch it off when I leave. It also has support for the grid-eye sensor which looks like the flir sensor you useThere's also a similar project for ESP32 called ESPresence.

Are bluetooth beacons still the best way to do location tracking in a building?
Check out Room Assistant. I have 9 RaspberryPi Zeros set up around my house and these do a great job tracking which rooms our cats are in, provided that we put a tiny BLE dongle on their collar.

I miss my self-hosting hobby
Earlier I had six raspberry pi's spread around the house to try out new things (e.g. room level presence detection - which did not work well despite weeks of tuning - and as snapcast clients). But it became a pita to keep watch over so many independent systems, updating them, remembering the IP, passwords, forgetting what I have installed last time, etc. This is what I like with the whole docker thing: fire up a container, tweak it, and then if it is not used delete it again without affecting the other services.

Home Assistant – open-source home automation
There's a project called "room-assistant", however you'd need to have multiple Raspberry Pis running it in various locations...

Triangulation by WiFi and Bluetooth for presence in rooms?
You can try room-assistant. It takes your Bluetooth devices and calculates distance, works quite nice in my environment for in room detection.

fetching readings from bluetooth thermometer / temperature sensors?
If your device is on the list of devices supported by Theengs Decoder, you can fetch its readings with OpenMQTTGateway (on ESP32) or Theengs Gateway (on a Raspberry Pi or other computer).

Anyone knows where I could find the equivalent of this but ZigBee?
If you can find a 433Mhz version of this, you could use OpenMQTTGateway with a Lora board and use it to connect to multiple 433 style items. In fact, it may be able to handle this exact one with the 868Mhz Lora module directly. I'd check with the project forums first though.

Somfy remote - CC1101 and "NodeMCU v3"
And the package https://github.com/1technophile/OpenMQTTGateway should have everything setup as a straight forward package to get started
- Level Bolt Lock with ESP32?
What are some alternatives?
When comparing room-assistant and OpenMQTTGateway you can also consider the following projects:
find3 - High-precision indoor positioning framework, version 3.
SmartRC-CC1101-Driver-Lib - This driver library can be used for many libraries that use a simple RF ASK module, with the advantages of the cc1101 module. It offers many direct setting options as in SmartRF Studio and calculates settings such as MHz directly.
