Sensors
| Sensor Name |
Type |
Details |
Bed Occupied [Right/Left] |
Binary (Occupancy) [Detected/Clear] |
The primary sensor that indicates whether this side of the bed is occupied (Detected) or not (Clear). This sensor is slightly delayed to ensure stability and should be sufficient for most automations. |
Bed Occupied Both |
Binary (Occupancy) [Detected/Clear] |
Indicates if Both sides of the bed are occupied or not. |
Bed Occupied Either |
Binary (Occupancy) [Detected/Clear] |
Indicates if Either side of the bed is occupied or not. |
(Fast) Sensors |
Binary (Occupancy) [Detected/Clear] |
A copy of the primary occupancy sensors (Right/Left/Both/Either), with less delay. If you need quick response when getting into or out of bed, and can tolerate an increased chance of false negatives, use this sensor. These sensors are disabled by default and must be manually enabled in the Home Assistant UI. |
Pressure [Right/Left] |
Number (Pressure %) [0% - 100%] |
Indicates the current pressure reading. This value ranges from 0% to 100%, indicating the full range of the sensor. Do not worry if your unoccupied pressure reading is not 0%, or even if both sides of the bed are not similar. Some beds may swing from 0% (Unoccupied) to 95% (Occupied), while others may start at 70% and only increase to 75%. The important thing is that there is a measureable difference between the bed being occupied and unoccupied. |
Values
| Value Name |
Type |
Details |
[Right/Left] Trigger Pressure |
Number (Pressure %) [0% - 100%] |
When [Right/Left] Pressure is above this value, [Right/Left] Bed Occupied will register Detected. The calibration process will set this value, but it can also be adjusted manually. |
[Right/Left] Unoccupied Pressure |
Number (Pressure %) [0% - 100%] |
Indicates the sensor value when the bed is unoccupied. Used for calculating the ideal [Right/Left] Trigger Pressure. The calibration process will set this value, but it can also be adjust manually. |
[Right/Left] Occupied Pressure |
Number (Pressure %) [0% - 100%] |
Indicates the sensor value when the bed is occupied. Used for calculating the ideal [Right/Left] Trigger Pressure. The calibration process will set this value, but it can also be adjusted manually. |
Calibration
| Method Name |
Details |
Calibrate [Right/Left] Unoccupied |
Sets the [Right/Left] Unoccupied Pressure using the value from [Right/Left] Pressure. |
Calibrate [Right/Left] Occupied |
Sets the [Right/Left] Occupied Pressure using the value from [Right/Left] Pressure. |
