Alexa Controlled Vibrating Bed Alarm

Trouble waking up in the morning? Normal Alarms not working for you?

Assemble a bed shaker alarm from a few simple components and combined with an Alexa routine create a smart alarm that cannot be ignored.

Components:

TP-Link Kasa Smart Plug (approx 16 UKP)

QWORK 2Pcs DC Vibration Motor (approx 6 UKP)

AC to DC 12V 3A Power Supply Adapter (approx 10UKP)

you also need an Alexa system.

Approach:

I created an account for the smart plug with TP-Link Kasa - tested it turned on/off via the app. Connected the TP-Link Kasa skill to Alexa and discovered the plug. Then created a wake-up routine that turns the plug on, waits 5 seconds and then turns the plug off.

The power supply is supplied with a simple adapter that allows the Qworks motor to be easily hooked up.

I attached it to the bed frame with gaffer tape. But easily placed under pillow or mattress.
