Comment on Comcast turns your Xfinity WiFi into a home motion detector

One more reason I’m glad I bought my own modem and router

just beware this is their implementation but it is possible to detect movement in wifi signal without special equipment. netgear, tp-link and a few more were found to have backdoors in them for authorized remote access via ssh. opnsense, pfsense, ipfire, openwrt i believe haven’t been found to include these backdoors, so basically don’t trust any closed/proprietary source routers.

At this point, if I didn’t build it and install the OS, it isn’t secure enough for my home.

I, for one, am looking forward to a plugin to do this with OpenWRT and Home Assistant for my own purposes.

I’m not sure about OpenWRT, but you can do WiFi motion detection with an ESP32.
