I believe it would require a specific ML model to be trained, due to the slight variances in the hardware and each environment.
It could definitely be done, and I suspect the fascist surveillance state is already on it; they're probably also building the capability into the 6G spec, so they can monitor everyone, everywhere, 24/7 from cell towers alone.
Oh man, that sounds way inefficient. Guess I'll stick to the human presence sensors, then...
ML models trained for a specific task are not necessarily inefficient. It'd probably be more efficient to add a single pi or container for "sensing" than adding a dozen physical sensors all over the place.
But it also looks like a new wifi standard will include some non-ML sensing capability on router anyway, but probably won't be available till the 2030's. I'd expect the ML approach to have solid options within a couple of years.
