# ADR-065: Hotel Guest Happiness Scoring -- WiFi CSI + Cognitum Seed Bridge
|
||||
|
||||
**Status:** Proposed
|
||||
**Date:** 2026-03-20
|
||||
**Deciders:** @ruvnet
|
||||
**Related:** ADR-040 (WASM edge modules), ADR-039 (edge intelligence), ADR-042 (CHCI), ADR-064 (multimodal ambient intelligence), ADR-060 (multi-node aggregation)
|
||||
|
||||
## Context
|
||||
|
||||
Hotels lack objective, privacy-preserving methods to measure guest satisfaction in real time. Current approaches (post-stay surveys, NPS scores) are delayed, biased toward extremes, and capture less than 10% of guests. Meanwhile, ambient RF sensing can infer behavioral cues that correlate with comfort and well-being -- without cameras, wearables, or any guest interaction.
|
||||
|
||||
### Hardware
|
||||
|
||||
Two ESP32-S3 variants are deployed:
|
||||
|
||||
| Device | Flash | PSRAM | MAC | Port | Notes |
|
||||
|--------|-------|-------|-----|------|-------|
|
||||
| ESP32-S3 (QFN56 rev 0.2) | 4 MB | 2 MB | 1C:DB:D4:83:D2:40 | COM5 | Budget node, uses `sdkconfig.defaults.4mb` + `partitions_4mb.csv` |
|
||||
| ESP32-S3 | 8 MB | 8 MB | -- | COM7 | Full-featured node, existing deployment |
|
||||
|
||||
Both run the Tier 2 DSP firmware with presence detection, vitals extraction, fall detection, and gait analysis.
|
||||
|
||||
### Cognitum Seed Device
|
||||
|
||||
A Cognitum Seed unit is deployed on the same network segment:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Address:** 169.254.42.1 (link-local)
|
||||
- **Hardware:** Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W
|
||||
- **Firmware:** 0.7.0
|
||||
- **Vector store:** 398 vectors, dim=8
|
||||
- **API endpoints:** 98 (REST, fully documented)
|
||||
- **Sensors:** PIR, reed switch (door), vibration, ADS1115 ADC (4-ch analog), BME280 (temp/humidity/pressure)
|
||||
- **Security:** Ed25519 custody chain with tamper-evident witness log
|
||||
|
||||
The Seed's 8-dimensional vector store and drift detection engine make it a natural aggregation point for behavioral feature vectors extracted from CSI data.
|
||||
|
||||
### Existing WASM Edge Modules
|
||||
|
||||
The following modules already run on-device and produce features relevant to happiness scoring:
|
||||
|
||||
| Module | Event IDs | Outputs |
|
||||
|--------|-----------|---------|
|
||||
| `exo_emotion_detect.rs` | 610-613 | Arousal level, stress index |
|
||||
| `med_gait_analysis.rs` | 130-134 | Cadence, stride length, regularity |
|
||||
| `ret_customer_flow.rs` | 410-413 | Entry/exit count, direction |
|
||||
| `ret_dwell_heatmap.rs` | 420-423 | Dwell time per zone |
|
||||
|
||||
## Decision
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. New WASM Module: `exo_happiness_score.rs`
|
||||
|
||||
Create a new WASM edge module that fuses outputs from existing modules into an 8-dimensional happiness vector, matching the Seed's vector dimensionality (dim=8).
|
||||
|
||||
**Event ID registry (690-694):**
|
||||
|
||||
| Event ID | Name | Description |
|
||||
|----------|------|-------------|
|
||||
| 690 | `HAPPINESS_VECTOR` | Full 8-dim happiness vector emitted per scoring window |
|
||||
| 691 | `HAPPINESS_TREND` | Windowed trend (rising/falling/stable) over last N vectors |
|
||||
| 692 | `HAPPINESS_ALERT` | Score crossed a configured threshold (low satisfaction) |
|
||||
| 693 | `HAPPINESS_GROUP` | Aggregate score for multi-person zone |
|
||||
| 694 | `HAPPINESS_CALIBRATION` | Baseline recalibration event (new guest check-in) |
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Happiness Vector Schema (8 Dimensions)
|
||||
|
||||
Each dimension is normalized to [0.0, 1.0] where 1.0 = maximal positive signal:
|
||||
|
||||
| Dim | Name | Source | Derivation |
|
||||
|-----|------|--------|------------|
|
||||
| 0 | `gait_speed` | `med_gait_analysis` (130) | Normalized walking velocity. Brisk = positive. |
|
||||
| 1 | `stride_regularity` | `med_gait_analysis` (131) | Low stride-to-stride variance = relaxed gait. |
|
||||
| 2 | `movement_fluidity` | CSI phase jerk (d3/dt3) | Low jerk = smooth, unhurried movement. |
|
||||
| 3 | `breathing_calm` | Vitals BR extraction | BR 12-18 at rest = calm. Deviation penalized. |
|
||||
| 4 | `posture_openness` | CSI subcarrier spread | Wide phase spread across subcarriers = open posture. |
|
||||
| 5 | `dwell_comfort` | `ret_dwell_heatmap` (420) | Moderate dwell in amenity zones = engagement. |
|
||||
| 6 | `direction_entropy` | `ret_customer_flow` (410) | Low entropy = purposeful movement. Wandering penalized. |
|
||||
| 7 | `group_energy` | Multi-target CSI clustering | Synchronized movement of 2+ people = social engagement. |
|
||||
|
||||
The composite scalar happiness score is the weighted L2 norm:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
score = sum(w[i] * v[i] for i in 0..7) / sum(w[i])
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Default weights are uniform (all 1.0), configurable via NVS or Seed API.
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. ESP32 to Seed Bridge
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
ESP32-S3 (CSI) Cognitum Seed (169.254.42.1)
|
||||
+------------------+ +----------------------------+
|
||||
| Tier 2 DSP | | |

||||

|
||||
| exo_happiness |──────────────| (POST, 8-dim vector) |
|
||||
| _score.rs | | |
|
||||
| | | /api/v1/drift/check |
|
||||
| |◄─────────────| (drift alerts via webhook) |
|
||||
| | | |
|
||||
| | | /api/v1/witness/append |
|
||||
| | | (Ed25519 audit trail) |
|
||||
+------------------+ +----------------------------+
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Data flow:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. ESP32 runs CSI capture at 20+ Hz and feeds subcarrier data through existing WASM modules.
|
||||
2. `exo_happiness_score.rs` collects outputs from emotion, gait, flow, and dwell modules every scoring window (default: 30 seconds).
|
||||
3. The 8-dim happiness vector is packed as a 32-byte payload (8x float32) and sent via UDP to port 5555 on 169.254.42.1.
|
||||
4. A lightweight bridge task on the Seed receives the UDP packet and POSTs it to `/api/v1/store/ingest` with metadata (room ID, timestamp, MAC).
|
||||
5. The Seed's drift detection engine monitors the happiness vector stream and flags anomalies (sudden drops, sustained low scores).
|
||||
6. Every ingested vector is appended to the Seed's Ed25519 witness chain, providing a tamper-proof audit trail.
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Seed Drift Detection for Happiness Trends
|
||||
|
||||
The Seed's built-in drift detection compares incoming vectors against a rolling baseline:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Check-in calibration:** When a new guest checks in, event 694 resets the baseline.
|
||||
- **Drift threshold:** Configurable (default: cosine distance > 0.3 from baseline triggers alert).
|
||||
- **Trend window:** Last 20 vectors (~10 minutes at 30s intervals).
|
||||
- **Alert routing:** Seed webhook notifies hotel management system when happiness trend is declining.
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. RuView Live Dashboard Update
|
||||
|
||||
`ruview_live.py` gains a `--seed` flag:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
python ruview_live.py --port COM5 --seed 169.254.42.1 --mode happiness
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This mode displays:
|
||||
- Real-time 8-dim radar chart of the happiness vector
|
||||
- Scalar happiness score (0-100) with color coding (red/yellow/green)
|
||||
- Trend sparkline over the last hour
|
||||
- Seed witness chain status (last hash, chain length)
|
||||
- Room-level aggregate when multiple ESP32 nodes report
|
||||
|
||||

```
|
||||
|
||||
### 7. 4MB Flash Support
|
||||
|
||||
The 4MB ESP32-S3 variant (COM5) is officially supported for happiness scoring. The existing `partitions_4mb.csv` and `sdkconfig.defaults.4mb` from ADR-265 provide dual OTA slots (1.856 MB each), sufficient for the full Tier 2 DSP firmware plus `exo_happiness_score.wasm` (estimated < 40 KB).
|
||||
|
||||
Build for 4MB variant:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cp sdkconfig.defaults.4mb sdkconfig.defaults
|
||||
idf.py build
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The WASM module loader selects which modules to instantiate based on available heap. On the 4MB/2MB PSRAM variant, happiness scoring runs with a reduced scoring window (60s instead of 30s) to conserve memory.
|
||||
|
||||
### 8. Privacy Considerations
|
||||
|
||||
- **No cameras.** All sensing is RF-based (WiFi subcarrier amplitude/phase).
|
||||
- **No facial recognition.** Happiness is inferred from movement patterns, not expressions.
|
||||
- **No audio capture.** Breathing rate is extracted from chest wall displacement via RF, not microphone.
|
||||
- **No PII stored on device.** Vectors are anonymous; room-to-guest mapping lives only in the hotel PMS.
|
||||
- **Seed witness chain** provides auditable proof of what data was collected and when, satisfying GDPR Article 30 record-keeping requirements.
|
||||
- **Guest opt-out:** A physical switch on the ESP32 node (GPIO connected to a toggle) disables CSI capture entirely. The Seed's reed switch can also serve as a "privacy mode" trigger (door-mounted magnet removed = sensing paused).
|
||||
- **Data retention:** Vectors are retained on the Seed for the duration of the stay plus 24 hours, then purged. The witness chain retains hashes (not vectors) indefinitely for audit.
|
||||
|
||||
### 9. API Integration
|
||||
|
||||
Key Cognitum Seed endpoints used:
|
||||
|
||||
| Endpoint | Method | Purpose |
|
||||
|----------|--------|---------|
|
||||
| `/api/v1/store/ingest` | POST | Ingest 8-dim happiness vector |
|
||||
| `/api/v1/store/query` | POST | Retrieve vectors by room/time range |
|
||||
| `/api/v1/drift/check` | GET | Check if current vector drifts from baseline |
|
||||
| `/api/v1/drift/configure` | PUT | Set drift threshold and window size |
|
||||
| `/api/v1/witness/append` | POST | Append event to Ed25519 custody chain |
|
||||
| `/api/v1/witness/verify` | GET | Verify chain integrity |
|
||||
| `/api/v1/sensors/bme280` | GET | Room temperature/humidity (comfort correlation) |
|
||||
| `/api/v1/sensors/pir` | GET | PIR presence (cross-validate with CSI) |
|
||||
|
||||
## Consequences
|
||||
|
||||
### Positive
|
||||
|
||||
- Provides real-time, objective guest satisfaction measurement without surveys or wearables.
|
||||
- Reuses four existing WASM modules -- the happiness module is a fusion layer, not a rewrite.
|
||||
- The Seed's 8-dim vector store is a natural fit; no schema changes needed.
|
||||
- Ed25519 witness chain satisfies hospitality industry audit requirements and GDPR record-keeping.
|
||||
- Both 4MB and 8MB ESP32-S3 variants are supported, enabling low-cost deployment at scale (~$8 per room for the 4MB node).
|
||||
- Seed's environmental sensors (BME280, PIR) provide complementary context (room temperature, humidity) that can be correlated with happiness scores.
|
||||
- No cloud dependency -- all processing is local (ESP32 edge + Seed link-local network).
|
||||
|
||||
### Negative
|
||||
|
||||
- Happiness inference from movement patterns is a proxy, not a direct measurement. Correlation with actual guest satisfaction must be validated empirically.
|
||||
- The 4MB variant has reduced scoring frequency (60s vs 30s) due to memory constraints.
|
||||
- UDP transport between ESP32 and Seed is unreliable; packets may be lost. Mitigation: sequence numbers and a small retry buffer on the ESP32 side.
|
||||
- Link-local addressing (169.254.x.x) limits the Seed to the same network segment as the ESP32. Multi-room deployments need one Seed per subnet or a routed bridge.
|
||||
- Drift detection thresholds require per-property tuning; a luxury resort has different movement patterns than a budget hotel.
|
||||
- The system cannot distinguish between guests in a multi-occupancy room without additional multi-target CSI clustering, which is experimental (ADR-064, Tier 3).

# ADR-066: ESP32 CSI Swarm with Cognitum Seed Coordinator
|
||||
|
||||
**Status:** Proposed
|
||||
**Date:** 2026-03-20
|
||||
**Deciders:** @ruvnet
|
||||
**Related:** ADR-065 (happiness scoring + Seed bridge), ADR-039 (edge intelligence), ADR-060 (provisioning), ADR-018 (CSI binary protocol), ADR-040 (WASM runtime)
|
||||
|
||||
## Context
|
||||
|
||||
ADR-065 established a single ESP32-S3 node pushing happiness vectors to a Cognitum Seed at `169.254.42.1` (Pi Zero 2 W, firmware 0.7.0). The Seed is now on the same WiFi network (`RedCloverWifi`, `10.1.10.236`) as the ESP32 node (`10.1.10.168`).
|
||||
|
||||
The Seed already exposes REST APIs for:
|
||||
- Peer discovery (`/api/v1/peers`) — 0 peers currently registered
|
||||
- Delta sync (`/api/v1/delta/pull`, `/api/v1/delta/push`) — epoch-based replication
|
||||
- Reflex rules (`/api/v1/sensor/reflex/rules`) — 3 rules (fragility alarm, drift cutoff, HD anomaly indicator)
|
||||
- Actuators (`/api/v1/sensor/actuators`) — relay + PWM outputs
|
||||
- Cognitive engine (`/api/v1/cognitive/tick`) — periodic inference loop
|
||||
- Witness chain (`/api/v1/custody/epoch`) — epoch 316, cryptographically signed
|
||||
- kNN search (`/api/v1/store/search`) — similarity queries across the full vector store
|
||||
|
||||
A hotel deployment requires multiple ESP32 nodes (lobby, hallway, restaurant, rooms) coordinated as a swarm with centralized analytics on the Seed.
|
||||
|
||||
## Decision
|
||||
|
||||
Implement a Seed-coordinated ESP32 swarm where each node operates autonomously for CSI sensing and edge processing, while the Seed serves as the swarm coordinator for registration, aggregation, drift detection, cross-zone inference, and actuator control.
|
||||

### Swarm Protocol
|
||||
|
||||
#### 1. Node Registration (on boot)
|
||||
|
||||
Each ESP32 registers with the Seed via HTTP POST on startup. The Seed's peer discovery API tracks active nodes.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
POST /api/v1/store/ingest
|
||||

}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### 2. Heartbeat (every 30 seconds)
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
POST /api/v1/store/ingest
|
||||
{
|
||||
"vectors": [{

|
||||
}
|
||||
}]
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### 3. Happiness Vector Ingestion (every 5 seconds when presence detected)
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
POST /api/v1/store/ingest
|
||||
{
|
||||
"vectors": [{
|
||||
"id": "node-1-h-{epoch}-{ts}",
|
||||
"values": [0.72, 0.65, 0.80, 0.71, 0.55, 0.60, 0.85, 0.45],

"persons": 2,
|
||||
"direction": "entering"
|
||||
}
|
||||
}]
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### 4. Cross-Zone Queries (Seed-side)
|
||||
|
||||
The Seed can answer questions across the entire swarm:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
POST /api/v1/store/search

{"vector": [0.8, 0.7, 0.9, 0.8, 0.6, 0.7, 0.9, 0.5], "k": 5}

#### 5. Reflex Rules for Swarm Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
Configure the Seed's reflex engine to act on swarm-wide patterns:
|
||||
|
||||
| Rule | Trigger | Action | Use Case |
|
||||
|------|---------|--------|----------|
|
||||
| `low_happiness_alert` | Mean happiness < 0.3 across 3+ nodes for 5 min | Activate `alarm` relay | Staff alert: guest dissatisfaction |
|
||||
| `crowd_surge` | Presence count > 10 across lobby + hallway | PWM indicator brightness 100% | Lobby congestion warning |
|
||||
| `zone_drift` | Drift score > 0.5 on any node | Log to witness chain | Trend change documentation |
|
||||
| `ghost_anomaly` | Event 650 (anomaly) from any node | Notify + log | Security: unexpected RF disturbance |
|
||||
|
||||
### ESP32 Firmware: Swarm Bridge Module
|
||||
|
||||
New module `swarm_bridge.c` added to the CSI firmware, activated via NVS config:
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
typedef struct {
|
||||
char seed_url[64]; // e.g. "http://10.1.10.236"
|
||||
char zone_name[16]; // e.g. "lobby"
|
||||
uint16_t heartbeat_sec; // Default: 30
|
||||
uint16_t ingest_sec; // Default: 5
|
||||
uint8_t enabled; // 0 = disabled, 1 = enabled
|
||||
} swarm_config_t;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
NVS keys (provisioned via `provision.py --seed-url http://10.1.10.236 --zone lobby`):
|
||||
|
||||
| Key | Type | Default | Description |
|
||||
|-----|------|---------|-------------|
|
||||
| `seed_url` | string | (empty) | Seed base URL; empty = swarm disabled |
|
||||
| `zone_name` | string | `"default"` | Zone identifier for this node |
|
||||
| `swarm_hb` | u16 | 30 | Heartbeat interval (seconds) |
|
||||
| `swarm_ingest` | u16 | 5 | Vector ingest interval (seconds) |
|
||||
|
||||
The swarm bridge runs as a FreeRTOS task on Core 0 (separate from DSP on Core 1):
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
swarm_bridge_task (Core 0, priority 3, stack 4096)
|
||||
├── On boot: POST registration to Seed
|
||||
├── Every 30s: POST heartbeat with latest happiness vector
|
||||
├── Every 5s (if presence): POST happiness vector
|
||||
└── On event 650+ (anomaly): POST immediately
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
HTTP client uses `esp_http_client` (already in ESP-IDF, no extra dependencies). JSON is formatted with `snprintf` (no cJSON dependency needed for the small payloads).
|
||||
|
||||
### Node Discovery and Addressing
|
||||
|
||||
Nodes find the Seed via:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **NVS provisioned URL** (primary) — `provision.py --seed-url http://10.1.10.236`
|
||||
2. **mDNS fallback** — Seed advertises `_cognitum._tcp.local`; ESP32 resolves `cognitum.local`
|
||||
3. **Link-local fallback** — `http://169.254.42.1` when connected via USB
|
||||
|
||||
### Vector ID Scheme
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
{node_id}-{type}-{epoch}-{timestamp_ms}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Examples:
|
||||
- `1-reg` — Node 1 registration
|
||||
- `1-hb-316` — Node 1 heartbeat at epoch 316
|
||||
- `1-h-316-1742486400000` — Node 1 happiness vector at epoch 316, timestamp T
|
||||
- `2-h-316-1742486401000` — Node 2 happiness vector at same epoch
|
||||
|
||||
### Witness Chain Integration
|
||||
|
||||
Every vector ingested into the Seed increments the epoch and extends the witness chain. The chain provides:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Per-node audit trail** — filter by node_id metadata to get one node's history
|
||||
- **Tamper detection** — Ed25519 signed, hash-chained; break = detectable
|
||||
- **Regulatory compliance** — prove "sensor X reported Y at time Z" for disputes
|
||||
- **Cross-node ordering** — Seed epoch gives total order across all nodes
|
||||
|
||||
### Scaling Considerations
|
||||
|
||||
| Nodes | Vectors/hour | Seed storage/day | kNN latency |
|
||||
|-------|---|---|---|
|
||||
| 1 | 720 | ~1.5 MB | < 1 ms |
|
||||
| 5 | 3,600 | ~7.5 MB | < 2 ms |
|
||||
| 10 | 7,200 | ~15 MB | < 5 ms |
|
||||
| 20 | 14,400 | ~30 MB | < 10 ms |
|
||||
|
||||
The Seed's Pi Zero 2 W has 512 MB RAM and typically an 8-32 GB SD card. At 30 MB/day for 20 nodes, storage lasts 250+ days before compaction is needed. The Seed's optimizer runs automatic compaction in the background.
|
||||
|
||||
### Provisioning for Swarm
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Node 1: Lobby (COM5, existing)
|
||||
python provision.py --port COM5 \
|
||||
--ssid "RedCloverWifi" --password "redclover2.4" \
|
||||
--node-id 1 --seed-url "http://10.1.10.236" --zone "lobby"
|
||||
|
||||
# Node 2: Hallway (future device)
|
||||
python provision.py --port COM6 \
|
||||
--ssid "RedCloverWifi" --password "redclover2.4" \
|
||||
--node-id 2 --seed-url "http://10.1.10.236" --zone "hallway"
|
||||
|
||||
# Node 3: Restaurant (future device)
|
||||
python provision.py --port COM8 \
|
||||
--ssid "RedCloverWifi" --password "redclover2.4" \
|
||||
--node-id 3 --seed-url "http://10.1.10.236" --zone "restaurant"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Consequences
|
||||
|
||||
### Positive
|
||||
|
||||
- **Zero infrastructure** — no cloud, no server, no database. Seed + ESP32s + WiFi router is the entire stack
|
||||
- **Autonomous nodes** — each ESP32 runs full Tier 2 DSP independently; Seed loss degrades gracefully to local-only operation
|
||||
- **Cryptographic audit** — witness chain gives tamper-proof history for every observation across all nodes
|
||||
- **Real-time cross-zone analytics** — Seed kNN search answers "which zones are happy/stressed right now" in < 5 ms
|
||||
- **Physical actuators** — Seed's relay/PWM outputs can trigger real-world actions (lights, alarms, displays) based on swarm-wide patterns
|
||||
- **Horizontal scaling** — add ESP32 nodes by flashing firmware + running provision.py; no Seed reconfiguration needed
|
||||
- **Privacy-preserving** — no cameras, no audio, no PII; only 8-dimensional feature vectors stored
|
||||
|
||||
### Negative
|
||||
|
||||
- **Single point of aggregation** — Seed failure loses cross-zone analytics (nodes continue autonomously)
|
||||
- **WiFi dependency** — nodes must be on the same network as the Seed; no mesh/LoRa fallback yet
|
||||
- **HTTP overhead** — REST/JSON adds ~200 bytes overhead per vector vs raw binary UDP; acceptable at 5-second intervals
|
||||
- **Pi Zero 2 W limits** — 512 MB RAM, single-core ARM; adequate for 20 nodes but not 100+
|
||||
- **No WASM OTA via Seed** — currently WASM modules are uploaded per-node; future work could use Seed as WASM distribution hub
|
||||
|
||||
### Future Work
|
||||
|
||||
- **Seed-initiated WASM push** — Seed distributes WASM modules to all nodes via their OTA endpoints
|
||||
- **mDNS auto-discovery** — nodes find Seed without provisioned URL
|
||||
- **Mesh fallback** — ESP-NOW peer-to-peer when WiFi is down
|
||||
- **Multi-Seed federation** — multiple Seeds for multi-floor/multi-building deployments
|
||||
- **Seed dashboard** — web UI on the Seed showing live swarm map with per-zone happiness
