Skid Detector
Make it your light
Choose a mode, palette and motion speed. Preview your changes, then save them to the light.
Nightlight and alert brightness share a power budget. Turning the nightlight off keeps detection and alerts running.

Passive radio observations are clues, not proof of a device's identity or intent.Alert rules
Deauth floods, sustained Bluetooth pairing spam and strong Axon candidates are enabled by default. Trackers, Ring cameras and other device families are opt-in.
Optional buzzer
Connect a suitable passive piezo to the documented buzzer pin and ground. Enable it here, then choose which rules make sound.
Recent alerts
Nearby radio observations
Enabled detection families and unclassified radio observations only. AirTag/Find My and Ring detections stay hidden until enabled in Alert rules.

Counts are received observations, not the transmitter's send rate. A confirmed pattern can be logged without a new flash during its cooldown or while silenced. USB monitoring lets you watch these counters without locking Wi-Fi to one channel.Radio & power
On by default. Survey checks each channel for 350 ms, then holds up to 8 seconds when repeated disconnects need confirmation. Connecting a phone locks the current channel; the home channel takes effect after clients disconnect. Default: at least 60 frames in each of three windows for the same access point within 30 seconds, with repeated targets or broadcasts in every window. Strong evidence survives channel changes. Retries, protected frames and isolated bursts cannot trigger an alert. This is a flood pattern, not proof of intent. Default 500 mA for LEDs, plus the ESP32's own draw. Higher settings require a suitably rated external 5 V supply. Software limiting is an estimate.Device health
Wi-Fi coverage is limited to the current channel. BLE uses shared radio time. S2 builds have no Bluetooth. C5 currently monitors 2.4 GHz only.
