Success! It is running on the #BigEar node, stuffed into a quick #3Dprintedcase from https://github.com/mrWheel/YAPP_Box . Today I'll wire the partner's side and add some automation. (If you are playing along at home, you want to mess with the attenuation settings in esp_touch to expand the sensor range. It starts around "6-7" but you can get up to "10-30". Much more reliable.)

The wild #cat sleeps on a specific pillow in a specific spot, and there is wiring access, so I might give him his own personal sensor for funsies. The foot-of-bed sensors are less useful anyway.

I don't know if GigaStacey made it here to the fediverse, I wanted to (at) her with this video because these sensors seem very cool. https://shop.everythingsmart.io/en-ca/collections/everything-presence-one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVjrgQSWlLI
