that is exactly the kind of gratutious shite i'm talking about!

a bit of a letdown now; everything i own with anything remotely smart enabled is already in HA so no more challenges getting tricky stuff to show up.

now i just gotta figure out what to do with everything.

wife HATED that i turned all the lights red and played a klaxon on every sonos whenever a smoke detector went off at the old house, so that is definitely out. scared the crap out of my MiL when she was house-sitting one time when we were out of town and set off the smoke detector.

this is what happens when you marry someone who grew up watching battlestar galactica

I had to user both the presence detector and pressure sensor to avoid any false positives from running just one or the other.

Since this is the guest bedroom as well as the office, I'm in and out of there a good bit doing random things, so I didn't want just the presence sensor to trigger an automation if I'm just in there tidying up the room. I also didn't want a guest to come in and place their phone in the stand, and have it run all the automations then.

I have to place my phone in the stand, and be detected by the presence detector in order for the automations to run.

For the presence detector, I got a simple ESP32 Wifi/BT board and flash esp presence onto it. For the Pressure sensor, I bought some small/thin pressure sensor pads, soldered them to a zigbee door sensor, and added it to ZHA. That's why in the gif on the last page it shows "open" and "closed" states when the phone is off or on the stand

Edit: My next project is setting up my MagWLED board and getting it connected to a 320mmx160mm pixel LED board, so I can display things like the babies crying/waking up in their cribs, camera detection around the house, etc while sitting at my desk (typically have my headphones on so I cant hear shite lol)
