A closed trap door can create the pickup visit on its own, and other alerts become office tasks or activity on the job. ## Key outcome Know the moment a trap closes, without driving out to look. ## What you can do - Link your own YoLink account or any brand that can send a web request - Trap door closed creates the pickup visit - Temperature, moisture, water and quiet-door alerts ## Explore the capabilities ### Sensors on traps, stations and properties - Link your own YoLink account, or create a device link for Shelly, Home Assistant, Hubitat, SmartThings, Node-RED or any device that can send a web request. - Put door sensors on cage traps and one-way doors, vibration sensors on snap and multi-catch traps, and door sensors on bait station lids. - Watch attics and crawl spaces for temperature, moisture and water. - Link each sensor to the job, trap or station it watches, from the office or the field app. ### What each alert does - A cage trap door closing can create the Animal In Trap pickup visit on its own. - Other alerts become an office task, a dispatch alert or a line of activity on the job, by your settings. - Repeat alerts are grouped so one busy trap does not flood the office. - Sensors that stop reporting or run low on battery are flagged before they miss something. ### Part of the job record - Sensor alerts sit on the job next to visits, photos and notes. - Activity from sensors counts in Activity Monitoring, and a point a sensor watched the whole time can show as verified no activity. - Speaker hubs can announce a trap closing at the property when you turn it on. ## Settings and choices - Choose what a closed trap, station activity, a quiet one-way door, a water leak or an out-of-range temperature does. - Set the limits for temperature and moisture, how long a sensor can go quiet, and the low-battery level. - Give a company its own choices, or use the organization’s. ## From start to finish 1. Link a YoLink account or create a device link. 2. Put the sensor on the trap, station or area and link it to the job. 3. Alerts arrive on their own and turn into visits, tasks or activity. ## More ways to use it - A raccoon trips a cage trap overnight. The pickup visit is waiting on the route in the morning. - An attic sensor reports high moisture after a storm. The office gets a task to call the customer. ## Feature questions ### Do I have to buy sensors from WildPipe? No. You use your own YoLink account and sensors, or any device that can send a web request through a device link. ### How fast do alerts arrive?
