Smart Mouse Trap Adapter

Introducing the Smart Mouse Trap Adapter – the perfect upgrade to bring intelligence to your mousetraps!

What It Does

• Smart Notifications: Integrate a Zigbee-compatible Aqara vibration sensor inside the adapter with your mousetrap. Receive instant notifications on your smart devices whenever a trap is triggered, so you never have to check manually or deal with unexpected surprises.
• Enhanced Protection: The sensor is housed within a compact box-like design with one open side. This clever arrangement shields the sensor from dirt and blood, ensuring it stays clean and functions reliably.

• Quick & Efficient Printing: Optimized for speed, this model prints in just 25 minutes using a 0.28 mm layer height, extra draft settings, and a standard 0.4 mm nozzle.
• Economical: Uses only 6 grams of filament per print – minimal material usage for maximum efficiency.
• Seamless Integration: Works perfectly with readily available components:
  • Mouse Trap available on Amazon.nl

Helper Setup:
To create the helper, go to Settings > Devices & Services > Helpers in Home Assistant and add a new Toggle helper. Name it mouse_trap_triggered (it will be referenced as input_boolean.mouse_trap_triggered). This helper is essential for managing the state of your automation and ensuring accurate notifications.

Feel free to customize the device IDs, entity IDs, and notification service (notify.notify) as needed for your setup. Enjoy your smart mousetrap integration!

Enjoy!
