This post details the development of an IoT system for monitoring bathroom occupancy. It covers the hardware setup using Raspberry Pis and various sensors (magnetic reed switches, pin switches), the software implementation involving Python scripts and sysfs for GPIO interaction, and the deployment using tcpserver and daemontools. The system aims to provide reliable, non-intrusive occupancy status to reduce bathroom contention.
