# Door buzzer detector (ESP32-S3, ESP-IDF, spectral template matching)

Listens through an I2S MEMS mic, compares the *shape* of the spectrum of every 32 ms frame to a stored
buzzer template (cosine similarity of a 32-band log-spectrum fingerprint), and sends an ntfy.sh push
notification when a sliding window says "that was the buzzer". No machine learning.

Written in C (C11), as your file list (`main.c`, ...) implied. ESP-IDF API usage follows v5.x/v6.0 conventions
(`driver/i2s_std.h`, `esp_driver_*` components, esp_console REPL).

Your staged build order maps onto this as: (1) `feature_params.h`, `audio_in`, (2) `fingerprint`, `selftest`,
`make_template.py`, (3) `matcher`, `calibration`, `config_store`, (4) `detector`, `processing`, (5) `notifier`,
(6) watchdog / reconnect / LED in the same files. The final tree is what is delivered; each layer only depends on the ones before it.

## Wiring (INMP441)

| INMP441 | ESP32-S3 | Note |
|---|---|---|
| VDD | 3V3 | |
| GND | GND | |
| SCK | GPIO3 | BCLK (`BUZZ_I2S_BCLK_GPIO`) |
| WS  | GPIO4 | (`BUZZ_I2S_WS_GPIO`) |
| SD  | GPIO5 | data out of mic (`BUZZ_I2S_DATA_GPIO`) |
| L/R | GND | left slot (to VDD -> change slot to Right in menuconfig) |

On-board: RGB LED on GPIO48 (WS2812), BOOT button GPIO0. LED: red = needs template, dim blue = listening,
amber = calibration session, magenta = alert/cooldown.

## menuconfig

```
idf.py set-target esp32s3
idf.py menuconfig      # "Door Buzzer Detector"
```
* **Wi-Fi**: SSID + password.
* **ntfy**: server (default `https://ntfy.sh`), **topic** (pick something unguessable: anyone who knows it can read it),
  optional heartbeat topic and interval (hours, 0 = off). Subscribe to the topic in the ntfy phone app.
* **Hardware**: pins, I2S slot, `Right shift` (default 14 = 4x digital gain for the quiet INMP441).
* **Detector defaults**: threshold, loudness gate, N/M, cooldown (default 5 ms). The existing N-of-M sliding window smooths frame matches; because frames arrive every 32 ms, cooldown/re-arm timing is effectively frame-granular. All can also be changed live with `set` and persist in NVS.
* Console: defaults to the **UART** USB port. For the native USB port set *Component config > ESP System Settings > Channel for console output*
  to *USB Serial/JTAG*.

## Build / flash

```
idf.py set-target esp32s3
idf.py build flash monitor
```

## Workflow

**a. Make the template from your recording**
```
pip install numpy scipy
python tools/make_template.py --buzz buzzer.wav --background quiet_room.wav tv_talking.wav
# optional: --segments 1.2-2.0,5.5-6.4   (otherwise auto-detected: frames > 4x noise floor)
```
It prints the selected time ranges, buzzer score distribution, a text bar chart, background score stats, a recommended threshold,
and an estimated false-trigger rate per hour, then writes `main/template.h` and `main/test_vector.h`. It refuses with < 20 buzzer frames and warns loudly if background and buzzer scores overlap.

**b. Build, flash, verify**
```
buzz> selftest        # must print PASS  (C == Python, tolerance 1e-3)
buzz> selfcheck       # press the real buzzer for 10 s; verdict good / weak / poor
```
**c. If the match is weak/poor** (your recording used a different mic):
```
buzz> adapt           # 60 s: blends live buzzer 50/50 into the PC template  (adapt 0.7 = weight of NEW sound)
  or  buzz> learn     # 60 s: replace the template completely (also: short-press BOOT)
buzz> background      # 60 s of normal ambient sound, do NOT press the buzzer
buzz> test            # 10 s, press the buzzer
buzz> autothresh      # threshold = midpoint of background p99 and buzzer p5, saved
```
**d. Live test**
```
buzz> monitor on      # timestamp, RMS, score, MATCH flag, state
buzz> alert           # test notification
buzz> status          # template source, timing (must be << 32 ms), Wi-Fi, notification counters
```
`learn reset` clears the NVS template and falls back to `template.h`. During any calibration session the detector is
paused (pressing the buzzer will not send alerts).

### Console reference
`selftest` `selfcheck` `learn [reset]` `adapt [w]` `background` `test` `autothresh` `monitor on|off`
`set <param> <value>` `get [param]` `status` `fingerprint` `alert` `reboot`.
Parameters: `threshold min_rms win_n win_m cooldown_ms noise_mult adapt_weight monitor_ms heartbeat_h`.

## Design notes

* **Template priority at boot:** NVS-learned > compiled-in `template.h` > "needs template" (instructions printed, LED red). `status` shows which.
* **Fingerprint:** DC removal per frame -> RMS -> samples/32768 x periodic Hann -> 1024-pt FFT (esp-dsp) -> *mean* power per band over
  32 log-spaced bands -> ln(P+1e-10) -> subtract mean -> (FP_DETREND) subtract least-squares line over band index -> L2 normalise.
  Score = dot product (cosine).
* **Parity:** `feature_params.h` is parsed by Python; band edges use double math and `floor(x+0.5)` on both sides. I verified on a PC
  (real `fingerprint.c` + stub FFT vs numpy) a max fingerprint error of ~1e-6, also with other NUM_BANDS / FP_DETREND values.
* **Concurrency:** audio task (core 1, prio 10) -> pool of 8 frame slots + two index queues (no allocation; drops and logs if processing lags)
  -> processing task (core 1, prio 8). Network and console tasks are separate; the notifier has its own queue. Mode and session data
  are guarded by a mutex; template and config by mutexes. Audio and processing tasks are on the task watchdog (5 s, panic -> reboot).
* **Notifier:** exponential Wi-Fi reconnect (1 s .. 60 s); up to 4 delivery attempts with backoff, then dropped and logged.
* Simplifications chosen on purpose: one `TEST_CAL` mode serves `test` and `selfcheck`; calibration results (background/buzzer stats) live in RAM only
  (re-run after reboot before `autothresh`); `TEMPLATE_SUGGESTED_THRESHOLD` is shown in `status`, not applied automatically.

## Assumptions

* INMP441-style mic: 24-bit in a 32-bit Philips slot, mono. 16 kHz, hop 32 ms.
* `min_rms` is in int16 units *after* the shift/gain, so it depends on `BUZZ_AUDIO_SHIFT`. Default 200 is a guess; check `monitor on` while the buzzer sounds vs. silence and adjust.
* `learn`/`adapt` gate = max(median RMS of the first second x `noise_mult`, `min_rms`) so stay quiet in the first second. `test`/`selfcheck` count frames with RMS >= `min_rms`.
* Verdict: **good** if the 5th-percentile score >= threshold, **weak** if only the median passes, **poor** otherwise.
* GPIO3 is an ESP32-S3 strapping pin (JTAG source); it works as an I2S clock after boot but avoid a heavy pull-up/down on the mic line.

## Tuning tips

* **False alarms:** raise `threshold` (run `background` + `autothresh`), raise `min_rms`, or raise `win_m` (e.g. 12/15). Door slams and speech are loud
  but rarely hold a buzzer-shaped spectrum for 0.3+ s.
* **Missed buzzes:** `selfcheck` first. Weak/poor -> `adapt`/`learn`. Then lower `threshold` slightly, lower `win_m` (8/15), lower `min_rms`
  (the buzzer may be quieter at the mic than you think; use `monitor on`).
* **Mic mismatch:** the PC recording mic and the INMP441 have different frequency responses. Detrending cancels a tilt but not bumps; `adapt` fixes
  residual differences without throwing away a good template.
* **FP_DETREND:** keep on by default. Turn it **off** (`#define FP_DETREND 0`) if the buzzer's own spectral tilt is its most distinctive feature
  (e.g. a very low, dull buzz vs. bright background noise) and `background`/`test` overlap. Then re-run `make_template.py` and rebuild: it changes the fingerprint, so an old template/NVS template is invalid until relearned (`learn reset` + `learn`).
  Changing any `feature_params.h` value invalidates stored templates the same way; NVS templates with a different band count are ignored automatically.
* Typical processing time is far below the 32 ms budget; `status` prints the measured average and maximum.
