RuView: WiFi-based spatial sensing without cameras or wearables

RuView leverages commodity WiFi signals to detect presence, track movement, and monitor vital signs like breathing and heart rate through walls. It operates as a non-intrusive alternative to computer vision, requiring no cameras or wearable devices. The tool integrates natively with major smart home ecosystems, including Home Assistant, Apple Home, Google Home, and Amazon Alexa.

  • Uses WiFi physics for through-wall sensing and vital sign monitoring.
  • No cameras or wearables required, preserving privacy in dark spaces.
  • Integrates with Home Assistant via MQTT and acts as a HAP-1.1 bridge.
  • Supports voice queries for presence and vitals across Apple, Google, and Alexa.
  • Enables real-time spatial intelligence for smart home automation.
