See through walls with WiFi#
Turn ordinary WiFi into a spatial intelligence / sensing system. Detect people, measure breathing and heart rate, track movement, and monitor rooms — through walls, in the dark, with no cameras or wearables. Just physics.
Works natively with the four major smart-home ecosystems: Home Assistant via the HA-DISCO MQTT publisher, Apple Home & HomePod as a discoverable HAP-1.1 bridge, Google Home + Amazon Alexa via the same HA bridge or a Matter endpoint. Siri, Google Assistant, and Alexa can voice presence and vitals by room with zero custom skills.
Drop into any Home Assistant install with one
--mqttflag. Or pair into Apple Home / Google Home / Alexa / SmartThings as a Matter Bridge. Ships 21 entities per node (11 raw signals + 10 inferred semantic states: someone-sleeping, possible-distress, room-active, elderly-inactivity-anomaly, meeting-in-progress, bathroom-occupied, fall-risk-elevated, bed-exit, no-movement, multi-room-transition) plus 3 starter HA Blueprints.

π RuView is a WiFi sensing platform that turns radio signals into spatial intelligence.#
Every WiFi router already fills your space with radio waves. When people move, breathe, or even sit still, they disturb those waves in measurable ways. RuView captures these disturbances using Channel State Information (CSI) from low-cost ESP32 sensors and turns them into actionable data: who’s there, what they’re doing, and whether they’re okay.
What it senses:
- Presence and occupancy — detect people through walls, count them, track entries and exits
- Vital signs — breathing rate and heart rate, contactless, while sleeping or sitting
- Activity recognition — walking, sitting, gestures, falls — from temporal CSI patterns
- Environment mapping — RF fingerprinting identifies rooms, detects moved furniture, spots new objects
- Sleep quality — overnight monitoring with sleep stage classification and apnea screening
Also included:
- Camera-free pose — estimate 17 body keypoints from WiFi CSI
- Built-in model workflow — record CSI, train models, load RVF files, and switch LoRA profiles
- Local automation — HOMECORE provides state, history, automations, signed Wasm plugins, voice hooks, and HomeKit support
- Unified RF world model — combine WiFi CSI, radar, UWB, and cellular sensing in one privacy-bounded scene model; accuracy is still synthetic until real-data validation
- Governed evidence — attach privacy policy, uncertainty, provenance, and witness records to sensing events
- RuView MetaHarness — use an AI operator to onboard, calibrate, train, verify, and check sensing claims

RuView MetaHarness — guided operation for humans and AI agents
The RuView-specific metaharness we created is published as @ruvnet/ruview. It provides:
- source-cited guidance;
- device access for CSI nodes, radar and LiDAR;
- firmware flashing with boot evidence;
- one MCP server, usable over stdio or HTTP for ChatGPT, with a live console widget;
- a Claude Code mod;
- guarded Claude Code/Codex agents;
- deterministic verification;
- an honesty check for accuracy claims.
Companion packages: homecore (Homecore developer metaharness) and @ruvnet/ruview-kernel (the vitals pipeline as WASM).

- Agent runs are read-only by default. Workspace writes require both

- Device-reported vitals are labelled as unvalidated.
- Retrieved brain content is evidence, not authority.
A single npx ruview package bundling all of this is ready (ADR-376). It is waiting on npm to release the unscoped name.
Full walkthrough: user guide → RuView npm toolkit.
Built on RuVector and Cognitum Seed, RuView runs entirely on edge hardware — an ESP32 mesh (as low as $9 per node) paired with a Cognitum Seed for persistent memory, cryptographic attestation, and AI integration. No cloud, no cameras, no internet required.
The system learns each environment locally using spiking neural networks that adapt in under 30 seconds, with multi-frequency mesh scanning across 6 WiFi channels that uses your neighbors’ routers as free radar illuminators. Every measurement is cryptographically attested via an Ed25519 witness chain.
RuView turns ordinary WiFi into a contactless sensor. A $9 ESP32 board reads the radio reflections off the people in a room, and a small pretrained model — published on Hugging Face at ruvnet/wifi-densepose-pretrained — tells you who’s there, how they’re breathing, and how their heart rate is trending. The model fits in 8 KB (4-bit quantized) and runs in microseconds on a Raspberry Pi. (The v2 encoder reports an honest, label-free held-out temporal-triplet accuracy of 82.3% — up from 66.4% raw; the older “100% presence” figure was measured on a single-class recording and has been retracted in favor of this.) No cameras, no wearables, no app on the user’s phone.
Built for low-power edge applications#
Edge modules are small programs that run directly on the ESP32 sensor — no internet needed, no cloud fees, instant response.

Quick start options — Docker, ESP32-S3/C6, Cognitum Seed, and Python
# Option 1: Docker (simulated data, no hardware needed)
docker pull ruvnet/wifi-densepose:latest
export RUVIEW_API_TOKEN=$(openssl rand -hex 32) # required; the container exits 64 without it
docker run -p 127.0.0.1:3000:3000 -e RUVIEW_API_TOKEN ruvnet/wifi-densepose:latest
# Open http://localhost:3000
# ESP32 nodes in Docker also need a UDP source guard (RUVIEW_UDP_ALLOW);
# see docs/user-guide.md "Receiving ESP32 frames in Docker".
# Option 2a: Live sensing with ESP32-S3 hardware ($9)
# Flash firmware, provision WiFi, and start sensing:
python -m esptool --chip esp32s3 --port COM9 --baud 460800 \
write_flash 0x0 bootloader.bin 0x8000 partition-table.bin \
0xf000 ota_data_initial.bin 0x20000 esp32-csi-node.bin
python firmware/esp32-csi-node/provision.py --port COM9 \
--ssid "YourWiFi" --password "secret" --target-ip 192.168.1.20
# Option 2b: WiFi 6 + 802.15.4 research sensing with ESP32-C6 ($6-10, ADR-110)
# Same csi-node firmware compiled for the C6 target — picks up the C6
# overlay (sdkconfig.defaults.esp32c6) automatically.
cd firmware/esp32-csi-node
idf.py set-target esp32c6 && idf.py build
idf.py -p COM6 flash
# C6 boot extras (vs S3): HE-LTF subcarrier tagging in ADR-018 bytes 18-19,
# 802.15.4 mesh time-sync on channel 15, TWT setup when the AP supports it,
# opt-in LP-core wake-on-motion for ~5 µA battery seed nodes.
# v0.6.7 adds: real LP-core RISC-V motion-gate program (debounce + motion
# counter) and a Wi-Fi 6 soft-AP with TWT Responder so two C6 boards can
# benchmark real iTWT without buying an 11ax router. Both default off,
# flip CONFIG_C6_{LP_CORE,SOFTAP_HE}_ENABLE to turn them on.
# Option 3: Full system with Cognitum Seed ($140)
# ESP32 streams CSI → bridge forwards to Seed for persistent storage + kNN + witness chain
node scripts/rf-scan.js --port 5006 # Live RF room scan
node scripts/snn-csi-processor.js --port 5006 # SNN real-time learning
node scripts/mincut-person-counter.js --port 5006 # Correct person counting
# Option 4: Python — live on PyPI (ADR-117)
pip install ruview # or: pip install wifi-densepose
# Both ship the same compiled PyO3 wheel (~250 KB, abi3-py310, Linux/macOS/Windows).
# Add [client] for the asyncio WebSocket + paho-mqtt clients:
pip install "ruview[client]" # or: pip install "wifi-densepose[client]"
# from ruview import BreathingExtractor, HeartRateExtractor # equivalent to:
# from wifi_densepose import BreathingExtractor, HeartRateExtractor
# from ruview.client import SensingClient, RuViewMqttClientCSI-capable hardware recommended. Presence, vital signs, through-wall sensing, and all advanced capabilities require Channel State Information (CSI) from an ESP32-S3 ($9) or research NIC. The Docker image runs with simulated data for evaluation. Consumer WiFi laptops provide RSSI-only presence detection.
