Currently, ESPectre performs only binary motion detection (IDLE/MOTION) based on simple statistical thresholding.

It cannot ignore cats or prioritize size over speed directly on the device, but ESPectre's architecture is designed to enable this kind of advanced classification externally.

It collects a rich set of pre-processed features (spatial turbulence, entropy, etc.) and transmits them via MQTT.

Any external server (like a Home Assistant add-on or a dedicated Python script) can use these features as the input for a trained ML model to perform classification (e.g., Cat vs. Human vs. Fall detection vs. Gesture detection).

Regardin Ruckus Router / Beamforming: for CSI sensing, stability is generally more important than raw power. I recommend starting by disabling beamforming or reducing the power output if you experience poor motion sensitivity, as the stability of the ESP32 receiver is often the bottleneck.

Thank you, it looks fascinating. Putting it in my hobby project queue at position 1, right after my current one.
