RackTell

Rack Tamper Geometry: Door, Panel & Blanking-Plate Events

Knows when a specific rack door opens or a panel comes off.

Readiness Needs edge adapter

The evidence is proven or strong, but this capability still needs a capability-specific ESP32 or Rust runtime adapter.

Evidence Strong theory Supported hypothesis

Published physics or adjacent results support the hypothesis; capability-specific product and site validation are still required.

Runtime family Not mapped

No browser runtime is assigned to this capability yet.

Why live sensing is unavailable

No capability-specific offline runtime is mapped yet. Keep the feature visible, explain the required edge adapter, and never fabricate a live result.

Intended capability

Validate this target only after a capability-specific adapter and ground-truth study exist: Detects a specific rack door opening, side panel removal, or blanking plate extraction as a discrete geometric event — even when no motion sensor or contact switch exists on the rack.

This describes the intended outcome. Readiness is needs edge adapter, evidence is class B, and a catalog mapping or recording is not proof of this outcome at a real site.

Solution blueprint

See the environment before installing it.

This exact kit is one of 191 first-class designs. It includes geometry, objects, nodes, wording, scenarios, installation, limitations, and catalog-bound readiness.

Bundled recording

A related Datacenter scene

This is one recorded vertical scenario. It is not separate validation of every capability in the catalog.

01 The physics

A server rack is a large metal resonant scatterer; swinging its door 90 degrees moves a strong reflector, creating a step change in specific multipath component delays (sub-ns to few-ns) and amplitudes — a static geometry change, invisible to Doppler once the door stops but permanent in the CIR.

02 Shared processing path

CIR sparse recovery isolates per-path delays -> step-change detection on tracked path delays/amplitudes -> axis discovery ('poke-and-observe': open each rack door during commissioning to teach a labeled axis per rack) -> event classified and localized to a specific rack.

This is a capability design path. Components may be shared with other catalog entries; it is not presented as a unique algorithm.

03 Validation plan

Own-hardware: ESP32 mesh in a rack row, scripted open/close of each door and panel 50x, confusion matrix over racks; CSI-Bench for CIR feature stability under interference.

04 Commercial hypothesis

Retrofit rack-level tamper detection with zero wiring — 'know which rack door opened, when, without contact sensors on 10,000 racks' — sold to the colo ops/security engineering lead.
