A hack is to put a sensor on the chair
- stavros 2y agoHmmmmm that's not a bad idea, I'll have to see how to do that, though. I don't want cables restricting me.
- swsieber 2y agoIf your fine with zigbee, I could see having one of these aqara door sensors in the cushion of the seat, triggering to closed when you sit on it: https://cloudfree.shop/product/aqara-door-and-window-sensors/ https://cloudfree.shop/product/aqara-door-and-window-sensors... Seems like it'd be finicky though.
- stavros 2y agoZigbee is great, but my chair has a mesh :/ I'll see if I can print something below, so that the sensor is activated, but yes, it does seem that it would be pretty finicky...
- transpute 2y agoCeiling sensor is another option.
- stavros 2y agoFor now I've put a mmWave sensor under my desk, which works fairly OK. It's not perfect, but definitely good enough.
- rpgwaiter 2y agoYou can buy the sensors they use in car seats for like $10 https://a.co/d/0dibAFxc https://a.co/d/0dibAFxc
- mytailorisrich 2y agoI solved the issue by linking my lights to a switch that I turn on when needed. It has worked very well so far, with no false detection at all!
