Smart mouse traps

I currently have a Victor Smart-Kill electronic WiFi mouse trap. It’s neat to get a notification when “another one bites the dust”, but I would be extra nice to be able to connect it to the smart home. :cowboy_hat_face:

Now, I understand that the Smart-Kill has been discontinued, and I don’t believe they had an API anyway, which would make it difficult to do much.

Does anyone here know of another electronic mouse trap that can be connected to Homey Pro (and actually works for catching mice :sweat_smile:)?

I’m not aware of any eletronic mouse traps.
But maybe you can use your current trap, and extend it with a motion sensor inside, or with a door/window contact sensor for the trap “door”.

Or an aqara vibration sensor, see this post for tips

Just saw they are discontinuing the app notifications for these smart mouse traps in Dec 2025 , so they’re basically becoming the same thing as their dumb electric-traps that cost a fraction of the price.

Well, that sucks… :unamused_face: That was the most important reason I got one of these. :-1:

Right? So glad I paid extra for the Wi-Fi feature to get the notifications - for like 2 years maybe :confused:. Now I have a worse trap than the others because the battery is still powering the Wi-Fi connection that isn’t being used for anything anymore, so it’ll die faster than the other non-Wi-Fi traps. I relied on this one to alert me before my dog can get to them.

Let me know if you find a good alternative. I actually don’t use Homey (I use Home Assistant), but this was the only thread I could find anywhere talking about smart mouse traps, lol. I’m going to try to stay away from anything that requires a cloud service going forward, I’ve been bitten too many times by Google/Nest and now this trap discontinuing their services/support.

I found this that looks promising, but there’s no price or buy button so I’m afraid it might be discontinued: Dome Home Automation Z-Wave Smart Connected Rodent Trap Black - DMMZ1 – ZWaveProducts

That Dome trap looks interesting, but I can’t find any prices either.

I’d think this is a kind of product that would be useful for many people, but it looks like I’m wrong… :sweat_smile:

Anyway, will post here if I can find a good replacement. :+1: Much appreciated if you do the same. :slightly_smiling_face:
