I constantly forget to take showers due to depression. I know I'm not the only one ๐ summer is early here in Texas and I don't want to be the stinky dude
Uses the humidity readings of my bathroom to determine whether I was in the shower:
- A running 1 hour average of the bathroom humidity is measured.
- If the current humidity is 8% above the average, it is triggered as "wet".
- Then it marks down the last time, and then converts that to "days & hours since" last shower.
I have a badge at the top of my main dashboard that will let me know how long it's been. It's already been useful. If I see anything over 2 days I know it's past time for a shower
I got a false positive from washing my hands when it was set to trigger by 5% increases, so I changed it to 8%.
Happy to share my code if anyone wants to do the same!
I'd like to do the same eventually. I rent though so it would have to be reversible
Shelly makes miniature switches and power monitors that are small enough to fit inside a 1-gang electrical box beside a manual switch or outlet. It's tight, but it's a fair way to convert existing hardware. Zigbee/bluetooth/wifi https://us.shelly.com/products/shelly-1-mini-gen4
