=== Assistant: Perfect — that variation is useful, but it changes what the graph can prove, because now the receiver moves with you. ===
Perfect — that variation is useful, but it changes what the graph can prove, because now the receiver moves with you.

Here’s how to do it so the result is still interpretable (and what to watch for).

==== 1. Start the scan. ====
# Hold the phone the same way the whole time (don’t rotate it, don’t pocket it).
# Walk to the back door and stand still 15–20 seconds.
# Walk back and stand still 15–20 seconds.
# Try not to cover the top/back of the phone with your palm.

==== Since the phone is moving, you’re basically testing: ====
Which devices are location-bound vs. which devices move with you.

===== - Location-bound devices (Wi-Fi Light, TV, plugs, etc.) should show a smooth RSSI change as you move away/toward their location. =====
* Devices that “move with you” (earbuds in your pocket, a tag on you, your own watch) will tend to stay relatively stable compared to the rest or even get stronger when you move because you’re carrying the receiver toward them.

==== With phone-in-hand tests, ignore small wiggles. Only count big, repeatable changes (≈10 dB+) when you move. ====

==== Paste either: ====
* the RSSI graph screenshot, or
* 15–30 lines of RSSI changes for the one device you’re most worried about (e.g., 4210…)

…and tell me where the Wi-Fi Light is physically located (same room vs other room). That helps interpret the directionality.
