2024.10.0
This is the first firmware update for Bed Presence Mk1. It will be available OTA to managed devices. Devices already imported into the ESPHome Dashboard will need to be recompiled to get access to the new features.
Eliminate DB Bloat - The default delta threshold and reporting interval have been updated so that the sensor only reports new values when something actually changes. This will decrease the update frequency dramatically and eliminate bloating the database.
Improved Sensor Response - The sensor now uses a window average by default. This helps smooth out any quick movements, while also slightly improving the response time for getting out of bed.
Calibrated Sensor - If you’re annoyed by a different response from each side of your bed, the Calibrated Sensor is for you. This is an additional sensor that scales your raw pressure values between the Unoccupied Pressure and Occupied Pressure.
Status Sensor - Added a binary status sensor to expose the device’s connectivity state.
Option to Use Full Range - By default, Pressure [Right/Left] is focused on the most sensitive zone of the pressure sensor (Full Range = Off). This should perform well for most setups. By turning on Full Range, you can expand it to use the full range of the sensor. Consider turning ON Full Range if slight movements in bed quickly drop the sensor value to zero, causing frequent false negatives.
Lots of Customization - If you import the device into the ESPHome Dashboard, there are now lots more substitutions within the package to customize behavior.
