Bed Presence for ESPHome by Elevated Sensors

I’m on ESPhome 2025.6.1 and have the bed sensor in my ESPhome builder panel so I think that means “adopted” (normally I just create my own devices from scratch) but yet I still don’t have it as a BT Proxy…

If I go to add a device to my list of BT Proxies it gives this:

Yet the bed sensor is not in the list.

Hi, will FSR sensor work for detecting presence in Sofa, too? It has hard wood base.

Yes, that means you have it adopted and won’t receive manage firmware updates. Compare your yaml to sensor-configs/bed-presence-mk1.yaml at 34cf8dcf48f6874ac1ba628c6b2b74458adf54d2 · ElevatedSensors/sensor-configs · GitHub, and make sure you include the following line in the files being pulled in as a remote_package.
- 'esphome-common/bluetooth-proxy.yaml'

While it’s not an officially supported use case, I think it has the potential to work well for your scenario.

My yaml is simply:

I thought the main package would include the BT stuff…

Exactly the same as here.

As advised by Stephen I just now compared its yaml to the github version, added the missing lines and recompiled. BT-proxy gets detected and works like a charm now on the bed presence sensor.

Glad it’s working now. We decided to break it out so that it could easily be disabled if desired.

Hey mate,

When will you have more in stock?

Thanks :slight_smile:

HAHA, I did not see that at all!

But to be fair it is early July and I did already sign up for the product updates. :joy:

Thanks

I was looking at the shipping policies and I’m a bit worried on the Import Duties, Taxes, and VAT. I live in the Netherlands and am unsure what the following means in my case:

The recipient is responsible for paying any import duties, taxes, and VAT upon the shipment’s arrival and customs clearance.

Could someone from EU share what kind of additional costs are there when this product arrives?

235

Hey,
i have paid Tax/Import 9,70 EUR and 6,00 EUR for DHL to do this for me.
so 15,70 EUR.
That was 11/2024 so it could be slightly different now, but hope it gives you a clue.

We’re blown away by the demand. Thank you! Restock coming July 15 for sensors and mount kits. We’re packaging as fast as we can, but stock may go quickly.

We apologize for being slightly behind on our original estimate. If you haven’t already, make sure you’re signed up for the wait list for each product you’re interested in. It helps us prioritize our packing efforts.
