    I’ve got a led strip on my toilet door. It turns red when someone is inside (mesured by the wasp in a box principle.

      You should set up a speaker in your toilet and start to fade in orchestral music when the occupancy time is getting too long.

      Suggestion for enhancement: Have the LEDs start out yellow and after a couple of minutes turn them red because entry has likely become hazardous.

        Or put a mic in the bathroom and make the LEDs yellow for pee sounds and red for fart sounds.

        I’m kidding but I actually think this would be fun, but you’d need a way to differentiate sounds.

      I’m unfamiliar with the wasp in a box principle. Is that the one where you keep a box of live wasps in the bathroom and determine if someone is in there based on how recently you’ve heard a scream?

          Here’s the problem, I keep a jar of poisonous gas triggered by a randomly decaying radioactive atom in my bathroom, so all of my wasps are in superposition.
