I am trying to get back into VR. It's great cardio.

I want my wife to be able to say "I'm going to bed, goodnight" without risking me smashing her face while I smash the face of a goon in GORN.

Is there an adhesive "doorbell" I can place on my doorframe that activates a vibrating wristband? Or activates an LED small enough to fit inside my headset? I cant find anything in that direction more refined than a Ring doorbell.

I could say "just yell" but its night time and our walls are thin.

My leading solution is supply a basket of plushies and tell her to throw one at my knees before bedtime, hoping that doesn't make me trip or something.

Anyone got better solutions?

If you have a couple of Alexa devices you can use the "announce" feature. In the bedroom she'll say "Alexa announce I'm going to bed", and then the Alexa in your room will say "announcement: I'm going to bed".

If you have a couple of Alexa devices

...then you have a couple too many. Why do you want Jeff Bezos listening to your fuck?
