Here is a little known fact about the pressure sensor -- it is actually a sticker! You can peel a circular piece of film off of the pressure pad to reveal a sticky surface. Choose the surface you want to stick it to wisely as the adhesive will probably only last for one or two projects. We chose to install a "lights out" alarm in our office. We stuck the pressure pad to our light switch. When we turn the lights off, a bell rings, signifying that it is time to go home.
