I’m looking for a solution that I can purchase (not build) that will sense when I’m in bed and is only local (does not send data to the Internet). I’ve tried to come up with a ruleset that would work based on multiple motion sensors, but the timing (even the small amount of delay from the SmartThing…

No, the mat doesn't need a battery. It's just a pressure sensing switch. No, the mat doesn't "auto zero". Mine sits above the mattress but below a foam topper and has worked well until recently. Over time it 's gotten to where it's more pressure sensitive from being compressed/wrinkles and needs…

I guess I’ll wait then. I plan on using it for light automation and I fear it may be too slow

Are you still down to help a noob do this. I’m completely lost, even trying to read about it. Thanks in advanced

Just a thought: have you considered attaching a Zigbee/Z-Wave scale to the bed somehow? It seems like it'd be easy enough to detect the added weight.

On average about 5 seconds for me :slight_smile: Andy

You should take a look at this thread: [image] [Release] HubDuino Bed Occupancy/Presence Sensors Custom Drivers All, I have been wanting to figure out an automatic way of knowing whether or not my wife and I are in bed or not. This would allow for some additional automa…

I saw that but I don’t get it..it’s a raspberry pi, connected to a board, connected to that sensor? So the sensor is wired to the pi?

There is no Raspberry Pi involved in the HubDuino solution. Just an inexpensive NodeMCU ESP8266 (or similar.) These can be picked up for under $10, and 1 NodeMCU can handle 2 sensors easily. The ESP8266 communicates via WiFi/LAN to the Hubitat hub. The hardest part with this custom solution is g…

Then I have to”program”the Adriano some how? Like ssh into it? Thank you
