Hey there!

Does anyone know of a bed shaker which is compatible with Homey?  
Reason I ask - son has diabetes type 1, and is a very heavy sleeper. It’s really important he wakes up when there’s an alarm from his CGM (Medtronic, I have the values in Homey).

Any tips welcome!

Unrequested advice: Homey is a nice gadget, but really not reliable enough to use for health and safety purposes.

You are right of course. But on the other hand, Medtronic’s current ecosystem is not very reliable neither. And we wouldn’t be replacing our current notification system, this would only serve as an addition.
