I connected my seat sensors to zigbee sonoff door/window sensors. I just soldered the 2 wires from the seat sensor to the pads on the magnetic reed switch inside the door sensor. Works a treat, and they are also wireless, which is a big plus for me.
I connected two of those sensors to an microcontroller for each side of our bed and to a led ring that turns on/off automatically when we get up in the middle of the night.
Yeah, I have the 2 sensors on the one seat in parallel. But then I have the one on the other seat on a separate gpio so that I can tell which seat is occupied. I actually have 3 in parallel on that one seat now because there were spots which weren't being detected.

Congrats for this idea + the high quality of your videos !

I have made an FSR bed sensor based on resinchem tech's video I love it
Nice!
If you wire the seat sensors on your sofa seat in parallel you would only need one zigbee sensor as you don’t care which sensor is activated.
