ESPHome weekly round up. This week there is only one project, but it is quite a project.

Bed presence with 16 load cells

This one is the highly sus bed presence project from Maxi1134. They attached 16 load cells to their bed frame, covered them with a steel plate to distribute the weight, and put the rest of the bed on top.

In Home Assistant it shows up as an ESPHome device with HX711 values for the corners, a total weight sensor, a playing state, and a tare button.
