contents Indoor humidity is a crucial factor affecting people's health and well-being. Wireless humidity sensing techniques are scalable and low-cost, making them a promising solution for measuring humidity in indoor environments without requiring additional devices. Such, machine learning (ML) assisted WiFi sensing is being envisioned as the key enabler for integrated sensing and communication (ISAC). However, the current WiFi-based sensing systems, such as WiHumidity, suffer from low accuracy. We propose an enhanced WiFi-based humidity detection framework to address this issue that utilizes innovative filtering and data processing techniques to exploit humidity-specific channel state information (CSI) signatures during RF sensing. These signals are then fed into ML algorithms for detecting different humidity levels. Specifically, our improved de-noising solution for the CSI captured by commodity hardware for WiFi sensing, combined with the k-th nearest neighbour ML algorithm and resolution tuning technique, helps improve humidity sensing accuracy. Our commercially available hardware-based experiments provide insights into achievable sensing resolution. Our empirical investigation shows that our enhanced framework can improve the accuracy of humidity sensing to 97%.
