Good morning, it's June 5th, 2026. I'm your host with today's RuView briefing.

The codebase saw critical fixes to ESP32 sensor hardware that was completely non-functional, plus new live deployment capabilities for real-world testing.

The most significant issue was a complete failure of the CSI callback system on ESP32-S3 boards. Pull request 955 reveals that the wifi CSI callback never fired, leaving motion detection completely broken with zero packet yield and all motion readings stuck at zero. This affected both version 0.6.5 and 0.7.0 across…

Compatibility fixes also landed for ESP-IDF version 6.0, where callback signatures changed and broke builds entirely. The merged pull request 945 addresses this alongside occupancy detection improvements that anchor noise floor calculations to prevent phantom person detection in small sample windows.

On the deployment front, pull request 948 introduces live operational modes with a new ITB wifi landing page featuring real-time WebGL visualization, automatic API detection, and 5-hertz REST polling. The changes include realistic mock data for two-person scenarios and PowerShell deployment scripts, suggesting…

What's next: The CSI callback fix…
