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?

    Taking care of an elderly person whose a fall risk? There are lots of valid reasons.

      Presence sensors do fall detection and human presence to a great degree. No need for a BED sensor and measuring occupancy.

        And how is a presence sensor in a bedroom less creepy? Its measuring the same thing as you say.
