Is it compatible with Home Assistant? I'd like to turn on the fan if there's been more than two farts a minute

Those moments whes venture capitalists spend way too much money on their fetishes.
They won't get a dime from me until it can tell me if it is a fart or I'm about to shit my pants.
Not sure how smart undies could accomplish that. Unless they come with some sort of insertable environmental monitoring probe...
I mean, I can tell without any tech. If my fart smells very strongly like shit, there's shit in my butt that needs to come out. 🤷♂️
I guess I was assuming they wanted a forewarning system, to prevent finding out the hard way that it was a shart not a fart
Maybe something like a meat thermometer would work. Probe sits inside your butt and gives a warning beep when it detects poo instead of gas.
It doesn't need to be too smart, even my dog knows when I fart.
I'd be more impressed if it told me if I sharted or not.
That’s what your internal sphincter is for
Maybe websites should connect bot detectors to those; "Fart, to prove you're a human"
ERROR; fart limit exceeded, please upgrade to the next tier for only 8.99.
