This would be easy to setup. It is a device that turns on an electrical socket whenever an alarm sound triggers it (kind of like the “Clapper” thing they used to advertise on TV).

So your CGM alarm would trigger the device to turn on the electrical socket. And you have something plugged into the socket, like either a light, or a vacuum cleaner, or a blender filled with marbles.

So ultimately your CGM alarm is turning on the blender filled with marbles.

Referenced in a couple places on FUD, but never had a thread specifically to this device:
