RuView: Sensor Accuracy and Clearer Failures
Most activity fixed sensor and diagnostic accuracy across CSI, LiDAR and ESPHome, with a second push for clearer validation errors. The highest-impact change restores ESP-IDF 5.4 firmware builds by pinning the LED strip component.

Good morning, it's October 11th, 2026.
The dominant pattern is sensor honesty: diagnostics and device summaries now report what hardware actually produced, not what fit conveniently in buffers or math shortcuts.
For wireless sensing, six fixes tighten C-S-I reporting. Packet loss now tracks only genuinely missing sequence numbers, so duplicates can no longer erase a real gap, in PR 2202. Capture rate is measured over observed elapsed time instead of the requested timeout, in PR 2203. Other changes preserve synthetic data…
On devices, medians, units and state handling get corrections. LiDAR even-sample medians now average the two middle values instead of picking the upper one, in PR 2207, and large scans accumulate extremes in a loop to avoid an overflow crash, in PR 2204. ESPHome distance values labeled millimeters are converted to…
A second theme is clearer failure. Startup baseline checks for issue 2169 now allow a small tolerance for vital-sign noise but explain exactly when that limit is exceeded, in PRs 2197 and 2198. The command line rejects missing numeric values and stops watch mode on permanent argument errors, the software kit applies…
What's next: expect stricter…
