Motion Sensor Switch for USB Cat Water Fountain – Auto On/Off

Smart Motion Sensor Switch for Pet Water Fountains

Upgrade any USB-powered cat water fountain with this intelligent infrared motion sensor switch. Simply plug it in between your fountain and its power supply — when your cat approaches, the fountain automatically activates, runs for 30 seconds, and then shuts off. It's an effortless way to make your existing corded pet fountain smarter, quieter, and more energy-efficient.

Key Features

• Universal Compatibility: Works with virtually all USB-corded pet water fountains — no special tools or technical knowledge required.
• Wide Detection Range: Infrared sensor covers approximately 9.8 ft (3 m) with a 180° cone angle, so your pet is detected as soon as they approach.
• Auto Start/Stop: Fountain activates instantly when your pet enters the detection zone and continues running for 30 seconds after they leave — always fresh water, never wasted.
• Energy Saving: The fountain only runs when needed, significantly reducing electricity consumption compared to a constantly running unit.
• Easy Installation: Comes with a suction pad and adhesive sticker for flexible, tool-free mounting. A 30 cm (11.8 in) cable connects to the fountain's USB port, while a 100 cm (39.4 in) cable reaches the power supply.
• Compact & Discreet: Measures just 4.5 × 4.5 × 3 cm (1.77 × 1.77 × 1.18 in) — small enough to tuck out of sight.
• ABS Construction: Durable, pet-safe white ABS plastic body.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this motion sensor switch compatible with all pet water fountains?

A: Yes — this cat fountain motion sensor switch is designed to work with any USB-corded pet water fountain. As long as your fountain uses a USB power connection, this sensor will plug right in between the fountain and its power source.

Q: How long does the fountain stay on after my cat is detected?

A: Once your cat enters the 9.8 ft detection range, the fountain starts automatically and continues running for 30 seconds after your pet moves out of the sensor's range, ensuring they always have access to fresh flowing water.

Q: How do I install the motion sensor switch?

A: Installation is tool-free and takes just a minute. Use the included suction pad or adhesive sticker to mount the sensor in a suitable position. Connect the short 30 cm cable to your fountain's USB port and the long 100 cm cable to your wall adapter or USB power supply — and you're done!

Q: Will this sensor help reduce my electricity bill?

A: Absolutely. Because the fountain only runs when your pet is nearby, it consumes significantly less electricity than a fountain running continuously 24/7, making it a smart, energy-saving upgrade for any pet owner.
