A method, digital tool, device, and system for detecting movements of objects and/or living beings in a radio range, which enables easily with a minimum of hardware complexity an automated movement detection based on a Single-Sensor, is provided. The method includes collecting as input data for the movement detection based on received radio signals of an intended or unintended communication between a transmitting radio terminal being mobile or fixed and a receiving local fixed radio device in the radio range 'Received Signal Strength' values related quantities, determining a change in the received radio signals, which are derived from the facts that the movement influences the transmitted radio signal in the radio range based on the RSS-values related quantities by the indication of a statistical parameter value, and assessing the statistical parameter value until the statistical parameter value in accordance with a threshold check provides a reliable statement for controlling purposes.

A method, device, and system for detecting/recognizing in a radio range repetitive motions with at least one motional speed and each at least one repetition, is provided. The method includes the steps of collecting as input data for the repetitive motion detection/recognition based on the reception of quantifiable radio signals of an intended or unintended communication between a transmitting radio terminal being mobile or fixed and a receiving local fixed radio device in the radio range 'Received Signal Strength'-values related quantities or 'Channel State Information'-quantities, and determining a pattern in the received radio signals, and accessing the peak value until the peak value in accordance with a threshold check provides a reliable statement, particularly being used for controlling purposes.
