Person identification from millimeter-wave (mmWave) point clouds has mainly relied on gait. Indoor walking, however, is often brief and interrupted, while other activities of daily living (ADLs) may provide complementary identity information. We investigate identification across seven ADLs using mm-ADL, a new point-cloud dataset collected from 11 subjects under a controlled protocol. This extension introduces heterogeneous states and transitions whose spatial and temporal characteristics vary with activity. We therefore study whether activity can provide useful context for learning identity representations. We propose an activity-conditioned framework in which a human activity recognition router dispatches each clip to an activity-specific identity expert. The framework is implemented as a supervised mixture of experts, using a dual-stream static-dynamic PointNet (DS-SDPNet) to combine time-aggregated spatial structure with frame-to-frame information. We evaluate closed-set identification (ID) and subject-disjoint re-identification (ReID). With learned hard routing, ID accuracy increases from 62.1% to 68.0%. In a two-occupant ReID setting, hard routing increases mAP from 57.2% to 75.4% and Rank-1 accuracy from 59.1% to 82.1%. Under a matched gallery partition, activity-specific experts also outperform a shared embedding, showing that the gain extends beyond restricting the gallery. These results support the feasibility of using ADLs beyond gait for identification and the value of activity conditioning under controlled indoor conditions.
