I believe @TiaG setup a pretty quick and easy solution that just involves a WiFi siren.

> Just wanted to give folks an update on how we are monitoring Samson at night. We’ve finally hooked up this D-Link [WiFi Siren](http://us.dlink.com/products/connected-home/wi-fi-siren/) to our network. We then used [IFTTT](https://ifttt.com/discover) to take data from NightScout and send commands to the alarm to go off. Last night it woke both me and my husband up when Samson’s BG allegedly plummeted from 113 to 70 in one time stamp… A finger prick showed him at 109 and he had no IOB, so it was probably a compression low, but STILL! It woke both of us with no effort – usually I have…

It really just depends on what kind of alarm you are looking for. I’ve heard of people using bed shakers to wake them up as well. You could use a simple WiFi outlet and plug in the thing you want to turn on.
