Hi all Have any of you used a sleep mat for toddler sleep detection or do you have any other bright ideas? Our 3 year old has recently transitioned to a bed from a cot and has become somewhat of a ninja at getting out of bed quietly and sneaking around the house. I am looking to create a flow which detects when he is out of bed and then plays an alert in our bedroom / around the house to alert us / wake us up if needed. I have thought about using motion sensors but suspect we may end up with some false positives which could be a problem. Interested to hear any bright ideas! Many thanks ---

Hoi! May-be some idea from thread [Reddit - Dive into anything](https://www.reddit.com/r/homeassistant/comments/17e08dg/in_bed_sensor/) ( google: “home automation sensor mat”) I remember, that some time ago seen such mats also as products in HA-shops ( now quick search with negative results ) Also, there are some talks about [microwave sensors](https://community.homey.app/t/can-i-connect-tuya-zigbee-presence-sensor-to-homey/94057) . Actually they seems promising in words - in practice, may-be someone with hands-on experience may help. I personally just heard about them - not even deep-digged into manuals. ---

No experience, but with this mmWave sensor you can setup zones in a room. > [@Aqara FP2, mmWave presence detection on WiFi](https://community.homey.app/t/aqara-fp2-mmwave-presence-detection-on-wifi/76955): > > EDIT 2024-01-18: @Martin_Verbeek has made a fantastic effort in creating the amazing [HomeKit Controller](https://homey.app/en-us/app/com.verbem.Hhomekiy/HomeKit-Controller/) app that is made for bringing the FP2 into Homey. It supports presence, motion, zones… Just stellar work. Be sure to check out the thread for his app [here](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-homekit-controller-for-a-better-homey/94520). I just saw that there’s a new FP2 presence sensor coming out now in March, and contrary to the other Aqara sensors it doesn’t use Zigbee but rather Wifi. Probably makes it trickier for someone to make an integration into Homey for it, bu… ---

@Undertaker described the usage of a binary sensor with a car seat recognition, but he had a different usecase for his tinkering. 🤣 🤣 [https://www.amazon.de/Sitzsensor-Sicherheitsgurt-Drucksensor-Sitzbelegungserkennung-Warnzubeh%C3%B6r/dp/B0BGKBF6GN](https://www.amazon.de/Sitzsensor-Sicherheitsgurt-Drucksensor-Sitzbelegungserkennung-Warnzubeh%C3%B6r/dp/B0BGKBF6GN) ---

Thank you! I am going to look at those and see if I can make them work. At the moment I’ve rigged up a temporary solution using a motion sensor but it can certainly be improved 😆 ---
