Anyone try to build a bed occupancy sensor integrated with Home Assistant? I've looked into load sensors but all of them seem to have pretty small weight limits (low enough to where I don't think it would even support the empty bed).

What devices/sensors have you used for this? And what does your setup look like?

I built one with an esp32 and some tin foil and foam. link to guide. If you go this route read through this whole thread for improvements to the final product.
