Bed Occupancy Sensor? (lemmy.ml)

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?

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.

Yeah as if people aren't linking it to Google and Alexa for voice commands

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.
