How do you do the bed detection?

Not OP, but most people are using load sensors under the bed frame with an esp or raspberry.

There are many ways to skin that particular cat.

I see lots of folks using variations of this homemade dealy: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/fsr-the-best-bed-occupancy-sensor/365795

I however have a SleepNumber bed which heretically has a cloud integration in HASS that provides an impressively accurate presence sensor for both sides of my bed.

If I were to get a new bed I might build my own, or consider the Withings Sleep Mats - https://www.withings.com/us/en/sleep/shop which should just work with the HASS/Withings integration. The Sleep mats are too expensive in my opinion though I really like my Withings Smart Scale.
