Hello, To detect the presence of my baby in her bed, I use two temperature sensors. One under her mattress (sensor A), whose temperature rises when she’s in bed. A second, far from her (sensor B). Next, I created a virtual sensor (sensor C) that subtracts sensor A from sensor B. If sensor C > 1°C…

Many thanks @tom_l for your answer ! These days, between work and the baby, I’m not going to have much time to devote to making a sensor, and I have to admit that not being much of a DIYer, the tutorial scares me a bit :joy: My method is home-made, but so far the C sensor works pretty well to tell…
