Wondering if there is any way to rig up a vibrating pillow alarm or bed shaker or if something already exists with z-wave or something compatible to Hubitat?
I just recently put in 11 first alert z-wave zcombo fire alarms and those now flash all my lights, send alerts to my various devices, and a few other actions, but trying to figure out some kind of mechanism to vibrate my bed while I am sleeping.
Battery Operated Boyfriend turned up to 11 might actually work, all you need to get is the remote control type (that'll probably be Bluetooth), get it to pair and then just use the signals it uses to trigger at a given time at a given volume...
You could use something like macrodroid on a smartphone - use to run a macro that triggers the functions in the app for Mr. Buzzy for when you want the alarm to go off...
Yes, but the watch needs to charge, which is typically at night. Unless I'm getting a separate watch that charges during the day and remembering to put it on at night. Would prefer a more permanent solution that doesn't require remembering to do something every night.
Ok, this looks like the way I should be going. How exactly would I rig this up so hubitat would be able to interact with it? From a physical standpoint.
Mine is pretty solid connecting via Bluetooth and notifying me of HE notifications on my phone, but I won't keep harping on about it, glad to hear you have a potential solution to pursue.
I have used one of these to create the old style "magic fingers" for a bed in an RV (though the one I used was 90W). Be prepared to adjust the weights to the minimal amount of shake. It's pretty powerful even on the lowest setting.
