I can't believe I'm even engaging this post, but... what's the use-case? Gotta say, this sounds extra creepy.
Gotta make sure the dogs aren't jumping on the bed while the humans are gone. What else could you possibly use this for? 🤷🏻♂️
Human trafficking or people being held against their will???
Why would anyone ask about "occupancy" of a bed? Motion or Presence sensors are fine. Like, you want to enact a trigger based on when someone gets IN the bed? That's makes no sense.
This whole question comes off as extra fucking creepy to me.
Maybe if you'd read the replies to your question you wouldn't be creeped out. There are a lot of good use cases and I haven't even though how it could be misused before you brought it up.
