Hey everyone! I wanted to share a fun and practical DIY project I recently completed using my Wyze motion sensor and a Wyze plug. I’ve always struggled with keeping my cats away from their food and water bowls—no matter where I place them, they seem to find a way to knock everything over. 
After some brainstorming, I decided to set up a motion-activated deterrent system. I mounted the Wyze motion sensor about a foot off the floor near their feeding area. Then, I connected it to a Wyze plug that controls a small desk fan. The idea is simple: when the sensor detects motion, the fan turns on, startling the cats and encouraging them to find a quieter spot to hang out. 
At first, it was hilarious watching their reactions. They’d approach the bowls, trip the sensor, and then scatter as the fan kicked in. After a few rounds, they started associating the area with the fan and began avoiding it altogether. It’s been a few weeks now, and the setup has significantly reduced the mess around their feeding station. Plus, it’s given me a few good laughs along the way! 
I’d love to hear if anyone else has tried something similar or has other creative ways to keep pets in check. Let’s keep the ideas flowing!
