This is the a behind the scenes description of the following site:

I love this a lot. Bookmarked, watched, and starred, looking forward to updates. Namely, click-on or mouse-over labels for each channel (thinking of a grafana dashboard). I turned everything on and got lost in the spectrum lol.

Any chance of the source code behind this being open sourced?

Interesting idea, although the part that got me was the "Zigbee" reference.

IEEE 802.15.4-based specification for personal area mesh networks. "created in 1998, standardized in 2003, ratified in 2004, and revised in 2006." [1] Operates in 2.4 to 2.4835 GHz (worldwide), 902 to 928 MHz (Americas and Australia), and 868 to 868.6 MHz (Europe). Does 10–100m with 250 kbit/sec with focus on low power.

Never heard of this in a quarter century. Not sure if I've ever seen a single reference. Apparently lightbulbs and "person alert" sensors are some of the only real products, and then a lot of hubs.

Zigbee powered the entire IKEA smart home product line for the past several years, until the recent conversion a few weeks ago to to Thread, a generational successor of sorts.

At least in my area of the USA, ZigBee is extensively used by utility meters and other smart grid products.
