Originally posted by logman View PostI'm using the sleep mat as a bed sensor for my wife's side of the bed with integration through IFTTT. Biggest issue is the delay before it indicates bed occupancy. On my side I use a lawn mower seat switch ($7 Amazon) and a Fortrezz Mimo Lite, which gives instant status updates.
I have since found another way which is more inexpensive: A Xiaomi water sensor and one of these pressure mats from Amazon. A water sensor is basically a normally open (NO) dry contact, and the Xiaomi sensor has 2 screws underneath that you can hook the leads from the pressure mat to (the alarm portion of the mat is not used). Step on the mat (or lay in bed) and the contact closes to turn the sensor "on". Step off the mat and the contact returns to open. Very useful for places where motion sensors are not practical or where you want an occupancy sensor to be incognito (beneath front door mat, beneath couch cushion, etc).

Is the delay from the sensor or IFTTT?

Eh, who knows? The sensor itself doesn't change very quick on the mobile app. From there I'm not sure if the push from Withings is slow or if IFTTT is dragging its feet. I tried hacking into to the mat by monitoring on Wireshark but never could get anywhere. It's like a bastardized mix of bluetooth and wifi going on.

Ok second vote for the scale.... going once... anymore for scale integration? Let me know today and I'll pull the trigger on ordering a scale and include it in first round of the plugin development cycle.

Scale integration sounds interesting. The use case I'd want is to set it up so when I step on the scale and am above my desired weight / body fat limits, I could then trigger a bright light to turn on which would be directed at my face so I can't read the scale's display. Instant body image fix.

Told her we should have sent the scales along too but she said "nope, we are starting a new diet so you need to get those set up and working". The wife, you never know where she's going to take her inspiration from to start the next diet that we all have to suffer along with.
Looks like baked carrots and fresh kale for me for a while....Thanks John!!

No worries on the scale. I was thinking of getting a new one anyways so this gave me the "excuse" I needed to justify it.
