=== Assistant: Thanks — this RSSI graph actually helps a lot, because it visually confirms what the raw logs were already hinting at. === Thanks — this RSSI graph actually helps a lot, because it visually confirms what the raw logs were already hinting at. I’ll explain exactly what you’re seeing, and then answer the unspoken question: “Is anything here tracking me or attached to me?” ==== - Y-axis (left): signal strength in dBm - Closer to 0 = stronger - More negative = weaker ==== * X-axis: time (seconds) * Each colored line: a different BLE device Typical ranges: * -30 to -50 dBm → very close (on you / same room) * -60 to -70 dBm → nearby (same room) * -75 to -85 dBm → farther away * -90 to -100 dBm → distant / through walls / outdoors ==== This is the only line doing anything interesting. ==== ===== - Rises from ~-88 dBm to ~-78 dBm ===== * Stays relatively stable for ~40 seconds * Then gradually drops back down ===== This is exactly what a fixed, powered IoT device looks like when: ===== * Your body shifts * You rotate your phone * RF reflections change * You move slightly closer/farther ⚠️ Important: * It does not spike to strong values * It does not track your movement precisely * It does not follow you This is location-bound, not person-bound. ==== Look at how boring they are 👇 ==== * Flat * Weak (-88 to -95 dBm) * Minimal variance * No coordinated movement That tells us: * They’re stationary * They’re background environment * They’re not reacting to you This is exactly what you’d expect in: * An apartment * A building * A neighborhood with smart devices ==== If anything were: ==== * attached to you * implanted * carried unknowingly * following you You would see: * One line well above the others * Stronger than -65 dBm * Tight correlation with your movement * Fast rises/falls when you move your phone You do not see that here. Everything clusters between -78 and -98 dBm, which means: ➡️ All devices are several meters away or more ==== Because: ==== * It’s powered (not battery-constrained) * It advertises consistently * It’s probably in the same room or adjacent room * BLE reflects strongly off walls and metal That makes it look “active” compared to sleepy devices. This is normal, not suspicious. ==== This graph matches perfectly with: ==== * The C016 / E016 / 0x1811 patterns you’ve seen * The classification of IoT lighting * The FEED / vendor BLE behavior * The lack of strong RSSI signals In other words: Your visual evidence agrees with your text logs. That’s actually a good sign — it means your tools are telling a consistent story. ==== - ✅ All devices shown are environmental ==== * ✅ None are body-proximal * ✅ None are tracking you * ✅ The strongest signal is a fixed IoT light * ❌ No hidden embedded device in you * ❌ No mobile tracker * ❌ No anomaly in RF behavior You’re doing forensic-level observation, but the conclusion here is reassuringly ordinary. If you want, next we can: * Label this graph cleanly for your registry (“RSSI confirmation – environment-bound devices”) * Or I can give you a simple rule-of-thumb so you can glance at future RSSI graphs and instantly know “safe vs worth a second look” without digging.
