Do you use a pressure sensor or PIR for that?

Aha those are exactly what I was looking for a few years ago when I tried to do the same, I only found tiny ones with difficult to use interfaces. Thanks!

You can find more information on their Doc Site
https://snips.gitbook.io/documentation/
I find their telegram (https://t.me/snipsair) pretty useful to ask poke around. Looking for their Discord because Dev community is mostly there! Plus i believe you get rewarded for helping em in their token. Not so much into Crypto but it seems to have some viable utility in their ecosystem.

- i built a bed occupancy sensor so hass knows if we're in bed or not, and disables automations that would otherwise be annoying (mainly the motion-detected lights in the bedroom)
- i come home and say "hey snips, i'm home" which turns on the tv and sets kodi to a plugin that i tend to use.
- i have a snips.ai command (hey snips, let's party) which turns on my lifx bulbs and makes them change colors
- also whenever Eric Prydz comes on my living room kodi, those party lights come on
- i have an announcement go out over snips.ai tts when my 3d print starts (so i can go ensure the first few layers are good) and when the 3d print is done. I also have snips commands to tell me how much time is left on my 3d print job, and if the temperature of the nozzle spikes too high.
