Pool alarm suggestions

With new technology coming out regularly, I am putting the old question through new paces. I want to see if anyone has used pool alarms or door alarms that work well for guests in your STR. Amazon has some packs of alarms, some with a remote, some with an on/off switch. They generally are two peel and stick components; when the two pieces are near each other there is no sound, but someone opens a door and a loud alarm is emitted.

I have been running a few years and no one has asked for them until now.  A grandpa has booked and has small grandchildren and he'd like alarms.  I can do that.  Which ones?

The peel and stick ones would work. Mount them up high where kids can't turn them off.

Put in your owners manual that you have them and it is up to the adults to turn them on if needed.
