The Three WiFi Meters are three ways of experiencing WiFi networks, each attempts to disclose properties of this near ubiquitous technology. They are built for the ESP8266 or ESP32 using the Approximate and YoYoWiFiManager Arduino libraries.
Signal StrengthMeasure the signal strength of your router around the house with the Signal Strength Meter.
Device WheelWatch an individual device's use of the network with the Device Wheel.
Traffic MonitorSee the traffic on your home WiFi network with the Traffic Monitor.
The meters work with 2.4GHz WiFi networks, but not 5GHz networks - as neither ESP8266 or ESP32 support this technology.
The Three WiFi Meters are inspired by multiple sources, not least Natalie Jeremijenko's Live Wire (also known as Dangling String) (Weiser and Brown, 1995) and the Tangible Media Group's Pinwheels (Dahley, Wisneski and Ishii, 1998).
The Three WiFi Meters were created by David Chatting (@davidchatting) as part of the A Network of One's Own project. This code is licensed under the MIT License.
