Additional thought...the smartthings hub ties into "zwave" devices which
include a bunch of things...including smart light switches, door locks,
etc. Some parts are kind of pricey for what they are, but the
automation is easy to deal with and is kind of cool from a geek perspective.

<div>If you are really set on a pressure pad sensor,
I'd probably gin something up with an Arduino and
a Relay. More work in HW/SW development, but the
