Smittix 7957176e59 Add proximity radar visualization and signal history heatmap
Backend:
- Add device_key.py for stable device identification (identity > public MAC > fingerprint)
- Add distance.py with DistanceEstimator class (path-loss formula, EMA smoothing, confidence scoring)
- Add ring_buffer.py for time-windowed RSSI observation storage
- Extend BTDeviceAggregate with proximity_band, estimated_distance_m, distance_confidence, rssi_ema
- Add new API endpoints: /proximity/snapshot, /heatmap/data, /devices/<key>/timeseries
- Update TSCM integration to include new proximity fields

Frontend:
- Add proximity-radar.js: SVG radar with concentric rings, device dots positioned by distance
- Add timeline-heatmap.js: RSSI history grid with time buckets and color-coded signal strength
- Update bluetooth.js to initialize and feed data to new components
- Replace zone counters with radar visualization and zone summary
- Add proximity-viz.css for component styling

Tests:
- Add test_bluetooth_proximity.py with unit tests for device key stability, EMA smoothing,
  distance estimation, band classification, and ring buffer functionality

Features

  • Pager Decoding - POCSAG/FLEX via rtl_fm + multimon-ng
  • 433MHz Sensors - Weather stations, TPMS, IoT devices via rtl_433
  • Aircraft Tracking - ADS-B via dump1090 with real-time map and radar
  • ACARS Messaging - Aircraft datalink messages via acarsdec
  • Listening Post - Frequency scanner with audio monitoring
  • Satellite Tracking - Pass prediction using TLE data
  • WiFi Scanning - Monitor mode reconnaissance via aircrack-ng
  • Bluetooth Scanning - Device discovery and tracker detection

Installation / Debian / Ubuntu / MacOS


**1. Clone and run:**
```bash
git clone https://github.com/smittix/intercept.git
cd intercept
./setup.sh
sudo -E venv/bin/python intercept.py

Docker (Alternative)

git clone https://github.com/smittix/intercept.git
cd intercept
docker compose up -d

Note: Docker requires privileged mode for USB SDR access. See docker-compose.yml for configuration options.

Open the Interface

After starting, open http://localhost:5050 in your browser. The username and password is admin:admin

The credentials can be change in the ADMIN_USERNAME & ADMIN_PASSWORD variables in config.py


Hardware Requirements

Hardware Purpose Price
RTL-SDR Required for all SDR features ~$25-35
WiFi adapter Must support promiscuous (monitor) mode ~$20-40
Bluetooth adapter Device scanning (usually built-in) -
GPS Any Linux supported GPS Unit ~10

Most features work with a basic RTL-SDR dongle (RTL2832U + R820T2).

Not using an RTL-SDR Device?
Intercept supports any device that SoapySDR supports. You must however have the correct module for your device installed! For example if you have an SDRPlay device you'd need to install soapysdr-module-sdrplay.
GPS Usage
gpsd is needed for real time location. Intercept automatically checks to see if you're running gpsd in the background when any maps are rendered.
