Update. mmWave works through the glass great!

In fact it sees me through the wall before I even enter the bathroom now. Super cool! Got two and set on up in my office

Yep the automation checks for multiple possible indicators that I’m home

yep very! just needed to have wireless adb enabled on the tv. just enter the TV ip in the integration setup in HA

I know this is old but you can use the Android Debug Bridge integration to trigger specific videos on your Android tv. I have it start a fireplace video on a Smart tube (adfree youtube) when I get home and set the volume low.

I’m using just humidity and its working great. I put the sensor away from my sink so it isn’t triggered by washing my hands.

This will only consider you showering if humidity goes 9% above the 1hr average humidity:

You need a ‘Statistics’ Helper, call it “Average Bathroom Humidity” and base it on whatever humidity sensor you have. Make it “average linear” then set Max Age to 1 hour. (leave other options default)

Make this Template Binary Sensor called “Showering”:

{{ (states('sensor.bathroom_sensor_humidity')|float - states('sensor.average_bathroom_humidity')|float) > 9 }}

Yeah it makes NO sense. I found out how many empty triangles of space there are in this house while doing this project.

Those closets are actually rectangles in real life.

The bathroom door should absolutely be further out, the space is wasted currently

it’s a never ending rabbit hole. my goal now is to never touch a light switch.
already have my office and bathroom turn on via PIR sensors (using ESPHome), gonna buy a ton since they are so cheap

looks clean though! I originally planned on doing something more minimal but went overboard

you could use that empty space in the corner for stats like indoor temp and weather!

surprisingly no!

yep! the minimum opacity is set to 40% though, otherwise they look off when dim see my code in another comment reply

my original plan was to make it really bare-bones and minimal LOL

i just kept going and going and ended up with near photo-realism. I couldn’t help myself. I even put in my 3d printed wall art by exporting it from fusion as a obj LOL

SweetHome3D does that part.
You export an image for every light, where its the only light on. Everything is black except where the light shines. Make those black parts transparent in Gimp or PS.

now when you layer them you have each light’s beams all intersecting and mixing.
There is a background image where all lights are off that they all stack on top of

Its far simpler than you might imagine.

thats the goal! It’s a glass door though, does that matter?

i dont have a way to see if the fan is on currently. but it gets around natural humidity swings by comparing it to the 1hour average.
that means if it creeps up to 70% humidity, it wont think im in the shower until it hits 78%. It has to be a sudden change because of this logic

weather has been all over the place lately

I agree, my skin does too
