1. A system comprising:
- a sensor strip, comprising;
a temperature sensor configured to measure a temperature of an environment surrounding the temperature sensor;
a piezo sensor configured to measure a biological signal associated with a user;
a computer bus having an adjustable length and configured to bend at specified locations to change said adjustable length of said sensor strip; and
a thermal member, configured to modify said temperature of a bed; and
a computer processor communicatively coupled to said sensor strip and said thermal member, said computer processor configured to determine a presence in said bed associated with said user solely based on a temperature recorded by said temperature sensor, and to determine a control signal, and a time to send said control signal to said thermal member.

20. A method comprising:
-
measuring a temperature associated with a bed using a temperature sensor coupled to said bed; determining that a user is present in said bed solely based on when said measured temperature is within 35.5°
C. to 37.5°
C. range; andupon determining that said user is present in said bed, sending a control signal to an appliance.
