Bed Occupancy Sensor

I could not get the scale code working on a Wemos, It kept on resetting.
Worked ok with a mysensors sketch.
I did not realize the load cell needs a base to sit on and was getting inconsistent readings. This printed part solved that issue.
Anyway thank you for sharing your project.
Here is the mysensors sketch if anyone is interested
