## What it is
FIND (Framework for Internal Navigation and Discovery) is a self-hosted server that determines indoor position using WiFi fingerprints from smartphones or WiFi-enabled computers, classifying rooms via machine learning. It supersedes motion sensors for home automation and tracking, and has been superseded by FIND3.

## Use cases
- indoor positioning with wifi fingerprints
- replace motion sensors with a single smartphone
- track which room a device is in for home automation
- self-hosted indoor gps server
- wayfinding and location-based triggers via webhooks

## When to choose
- you want room-level indoor location without dedicated hardware
- you need a self-hosted, privacy-friendly positioning server
- you want to trigger home automation based on presence in a room

## When to avoid
- you need outdoor GPS-precision or centimeter-level accuracy
- you want the actively developed version - use FIND3 instead
- your environment has few distinct WiFi access points to fingerprint

## Facets
