[seanvree (Sean Vreeland)]

We just got a new puppy. Wondering what device(s) people are using for their pets?

Haven’t integrated this yet, but it’s in the to-do/wish list

PetSafe SmartDoor Model HPA15-13808 (DTH in post 27)

Well I can verify at Lowes’s does in fact sell this door. And it does get picked up on smartthings when you try to add a new device it appears it only needs to be programmed. It utilizes zigbee. I am in dire need as to how to program this dog door

@the2352 I believe if you go here there is an app done by @Sticks18.

I use a basic presence sensor to ensure my puppy never got away, and notify me if it did!

I also used this DIY pressure sensor to alert me if my dog gets on our furniture…

DIY Pressure Sensor (welcome mat)

Using 2 pressure mats from Freight Props and an Open/Close sensor from MonoPrice and the Easy Button app from @bdahlem I now have pressure sensors at the top and bottom of my stairs. The plan is to turn on a few lights for a few minutes during night hours when pressure is detected. Haven’t figured out how to do that yet, but I’m sure there is a way already.

Are there any devices that have GPS tracking that will work with ST?

@seanvree

There are a number of GPS devices for pets on the market. If they integrate with IFTTT or with Life360, then you have a chance that they’ll integrate with SmartThings, at least as a presence indicator.

If the device can trigger text messages or email, you may also be able to integrate that way. But you’ll still have to pay the device’s monthly subscription fee if there is one.

Or you could give your dog her own phone like the following blogger did
