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.

Using two ESP32-S3 modules you can get ~6000 packets per second with CSI data. I'm using this as a cheap replacement for specialty high-G gyroscope modules, but it could see use for this type of motion detection as well.

Are you using two separate S3s as a dedicated Transmitter/Receiver pair, or are both transmitting data simultaneously?

Transmitter/Reciever pair.
