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?

I can't believe I'm even engaging this post, but... what's the use-case? Gotta say, this sounds extra creepy.

Gotta make sure the dogs aren't jumping on the bed while the humans are gone. What else could you possibly use this for? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Human trafficking or people being held against their will???

Why would anyone ask about "occupancy" of a bed? Motion or Presence sensors are fine. Like, you want to enact a trigger based on when someone gets IN the bed? That's makes no sense.

This whole question comes off as extra fucking creepy to me.

Don’t open the blinds as long as there is someone in bed?
