Hey gang—Strato here. In this project I finally checked off a Home Assistant to-do that’s been staring at me for like 18 months: reliable bed presence detection, paired with underbed WLED lighting, and a “use it sparingly” LLM reminder flow. I’m using an Elevated Sensors bed presence sensor so I can actually know if someone is in the bed (left side vs right side), and then I tied that into a MAGWLED-1 running WLED with an SK6812 RGBW strip to create a subtle underglow that turns on when one of us gets up at night—without blasting the other person with overhead lights. The real magic is how this becomes a governance signal for the rest of the room. If someone’s in bed, I don’t want motion-activated overhead lighting firing, and bed presence is just way more dependable than trying to infer “in bed” from mmWave or motion. On the WLED side, I split the strip into two segments (bed left / bed right) so each side can behave independently. The automation logic is straightforward: when a side flips from detected to clear after sunset, that side’s segment turns on; when we’re back in bed (or sunrise hits), it shuts back off. And yes—I also use bed entry as a last-chance reminder trigger. If it’s garbage day, I’ll have my voice assistant query a camera feed and nudge me if the cans aren’t out. It’s an elegant solution to not a major problem… but those little quality-of-life wins stack up.
