How to Design for the Age of Ambient Sensing
The smart home has always promised simplicity, but the path to get there has been anything but. Smart home technology has evolved rapidly—first came buttons and remotes, followed by apps and then voice commands—but it all began with one thing: direct, manual control....
How to Design for the Age of Ambient Sensing
Smart homes are entering a new era—one where devices don’t just wait for commands but sense, learn, and respond on their own. This blog explores how to design ambient sensing systems that are intuitive, respectful, and trustworthy, ensuring technology enhances life without overstepping.

Wi-Fi Sensing: Not a Threat to Personal Privacy Any Time Soon, nor Possibly Ever, Experts Confirm
Wi-Fi sensing, a technology detecting motion through disturbances in Wi-Fi signals, is gaining traction among home broadband ISPs. Despite concerns about privacy, experts argue that linking Wi-Fi sensing signals to identifiable persons is currently science fiction. Cognitive Systems' CEO, Taj Manku, emphasizes Wi-Fi sensing's privacy benefits compared to camera-based solutions. The technology provides basic movement insights, like unexpected motion, through anonymized and encrypted data. Renowned telco analyst Dean Bubley supports the notion that Wi-Fi sensing poses minimal privacy risks compared to other motion-sensing technologies. The IEEE and industry players, including Cognitive Systems, are working on standardizing Wi-Fi sensing through the 802.11bf standard, aiming to enhance efficiency and reliability in motion detection applications.
The Next Big Wi-Fi Standard Is for Sensing, Not Communication
Explore the future of Wi-Fi with IEEE's 802.11bf standard. Designed for sensing, it detects people or objects in physical spaces using math. Compatible with 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 60 GHz bands, it enables applications like smart home motion detection. The standardized version is in the works, promising seamless integration into devices within three years. Wi-Fi sensing offers 99.999% accuracy in motion detection and 90% accuracy in spatial location, making it a game-changer for smart homes, enterprises, and retail. Embrace Wi-Fi's evolution beyond traditional data transmission.
