It’s written in TypeScript, lets you enable/disable collectors, add custom data, and includes a simple suspicious-activity score. Would love feedback.

    Hi everyone, I'm the author of ESPectre. This is an open-source (GPLv3) project that uses Wi-Fi signal analysis to detect motion using CSI data, and it has already garnered almost 2,000 stars in two weeks. Key technical details: - The system does NOT use Machine Learning, it relies purely on Math. — Runs in real-time on a super affordable chip like the ESP32. - It integrates seamlessly with Home Assistant via MQTT.
