I'm curious. Like what?
A door opening contact sensor.
Aqara have good door and window sensors too
You can buy these at around the same price or less, so no point in doing that
Edited my post to include a link - someone used it for a bed occupancy sensor: https://www.homeautomationguy.io/blog/making-my-own-bed-sensor
Some days I don't wet the bed, how will it recognize my presence without a steady stream of moisture?
Seeing how much liquid you can pee?
