BLE provides good insight, but we can also collect metrics from WiFi devices in the surrounding area.

Interesting, but I don’t want to add any additional hardware. It should be possible (in theory) to get this data using the built-in WiFi chipset in the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B (and later).

No, it's not, since the builtin Wifi chip in RPi3 does not support monitor mode. But it would be possible to add a suitable wifi chip as usb dongle.

Interesting. Will take a look at this later on.
