Hi all! It's been a long time since my last post here. Recently I have playing around with the user presence indicator in a custom display template results and it's amazing what you can do with the out-of-the-box functionality.
I based myself on this article:

The only thing the article was missing was how to get the id, wich you can do like this:
var id = ctx.ClientControl.get_nextUniqueId();
Have Fun!
