Bed Phone Charging Station - Pixel 4a

thingiverse

I remixed this dollhouse bed to make a bedside charging station for my Pixel 4a. The phone doesn't fit in the frame perfectly without a mattress, so resize if you're not adding a mattress like I did (just adjust the scale on each plane accordingly). I rounded the corners of the posts, shortened the footboard and made a little slot in it so I can tuck my power cable in there. I made my mattress out of scrap fabric and weighted beads to keep the stand from moving around when I put my phone in and out of it. If you can't sew or want a quicker option, just pin or glue some fabric around a sponge cut to size. I added a little pocket in the mattress so I can insert NFC stickers for Home Assistant automations. Currently when I put my phone in the bed, it scans the NFC sticker and shuts off all of the smart lights in my house. See this article if you're interested in programming something similar https://www.home-assistant.io/blog/2020/09/15/home-assistant-tags/. I used the Home Assistant app and it was a piece of cake.
