The product up for consideration takes our interest in home automation in a whole new direction! The
Dome Mouser DMMZ1 Z-Wave Plus smart rodent trap was sent over to us by
The Smartest House, and I have to say it may be one of the most interesting applications of Z-Wave technology that I have seen.
In the promotional image above we see that the Mouser has a cat inspired design, as well as a cat inspired purpose. The housing conceals a battery powered electrocution system, as well as a Z-Wave radio to let you know when it has "taken care of" a rodent! Unlike a cat, the Mouser will keep the dead pest neatly inside of the housing instead of dropping the mangled, bloody corpse at your feet... But it will send an alert to your smartphone! Before taking a look at what else the Dome Mouser has to offer, let's check out some of the published information on it as taken from the
official product page on the Dome website...
