Anyone try to build a bed occupancy sensor integrated with Home Assistant? I’ve looked into load sensors but all of them seem to have pretty small weight limits (low enough to where I don’t think it would even support the empty bed).

What devices/sensors have you used for this? And what does your setup look like?

    Turn on the lights in the bedroom based on presence sensor, but only if the bed occupancy sensor detects no one is in bed.

      Turn off the lights when 2 people in bed. Turn the lights on really low when only 1 person gets up. Track time you went to bed / time in bed as a low-budget sleep tracker not tied to a big data broker, like a smart watch would be…

          You must be here from c/all. Home Assistant is a self-hosted application and stores all of its data locally on hardware you own and control. If there’s data mining, its because you put it there yourself.

              So don’t do that if that’s important to you. I don’t. Besides, home assistant has its own local voice commands if you want them.
