socquique writes of Capsule Radar, a live ADS-B aircraft radar designed for the Waveshare ESP32-S3-Touch-AMOLED series (1.75 and 1.43 inch round displays). The software pulls real-time flight data via WiFi to plot nearby aircraft on various visual themes like Phosphor or Orb, offering touch interaction for detailed flight information such as routes and altitude.
- Supports browser-based flashing via ESP Web Tools

tzapu writes about WiFiManager, an Espressif ESPx WiFi connection manager featuring a fallback web configuration portal. The library allows devices like the ESP8266 and ESP32 to automatically enter Access Point mode if they cannot connect to a saved network, enabling users to configure credentials via a captive web portal from any device with a browser.
- Supports both ESP8266 and ESP32 platforms
- Features a captive portal that redirects all traffic to the configuration page
- Includes support for custom parameters beyond SSID and password (e.g., MQTT settings)
- Provides language switching options including German, Spanish, French, Portuguese, and Brazilian Portuguese
- Supports on-demand configuration portals via a trigger pin or software command

Tyler August writes that The Masked Bear's open-source wifisense-pi project uses an ESP32-S3 sampling the 2.4 GHz WiFi channel 100 times per second with a Raspberry Pi 4 for signal processing to detect subtle body motions via WiFi disturbances, effectively sensing breathing or presence through walls without dedicated hardware.
- Can detect a perfectly still human by breathing, but presence can be hidden by holding breath
- Single sensor provides no position information and cannot reliably distinguish one vs multiple people
- Works by sniffing existing 2.4 GHz signals and functions through walls
- Not the first WiFi-based presence project; prior work includes ESP32 person sensors and millimeter-wave alternatives

Security researcher BobDaHacker discovered multiple critical vulnerabilities in the Petlibro smart pet feeder system. The most severe is an **authentication bypass** allowing attackers to log in to *any* account using publicly available Google IDs. Petlibro acknowledged the issues and offered a $500 bounty, but has left the vulnerable login endpoint active for "legacy compatibility" over two months after initial reporting, despite promising a fix.
Other vulnerabilities included:
* Viewing details of any pet by ID.
* Obtaining serial numbers and MAC addresses.
* Manipulating feeding schedules, camera feeds, and settings without authentication.
* Retrieving mealtime messages recorded by owners.
* Gaining access to devices by adding oneself as a shared owner.
