ESPresense - Apple Watch - Device ID

Hello

I’ve set up two ESPresense ESP’s in two different rooms - I am trying to track my Apple Watch

Unfortunately Apple not only changes the mac every 15 minutes but in some cases (which I could not backtrack by now) the Watch also changes the device_id - I have pinpointed it out to two different id’s

Its either

apple:1005:9-24

OR

apple:watch6-9

The problem is also sometimes ESP1 detects the watch as apple:1005 and ESP2 checks out apple:watch and vice versa.

I am currently tracking both (see part of configuration.yaml)

sensor:
  - platform: mqtt_room
    name: "Apple Watch"
    device_id: "apple:1005:9-24"
    state_topic: "espresense/rooms"
    timeout: 5
    away_timeout: 120
  - platform: mqtt_room
    name: "Apple Watch 2"
    device_id: "apple:watch6-9"
    state_topic: "espresense/rooms"
    timeout: 5
    away_timeout: 120

is there a possibilty to have the name: “Apple Watch” check both device id’s?
