Put a flint golem in a very flammable room, if the golem is hit with a metal weapon d6 (3-6) ignite. Can do the same with a door made so if someone tries to pick it it ignites. Or a door which when opened or closed ignites.

Just a large hole in the floor with a rope hanging from the roof to swing from. The rope is made to fall into the hole if more than 100 lbs of weight hang from it.

Non-magical limited proximity sensors can be made by using strong magnets; if a creature carrying X amount of ferrous metal or an object made of ferrous metal of X size passes in front, underneath, or in the general vicinity, it will trigger the trap.
-# I’ve used this in the past and players had no idea what was triggering it. Even better some players didnt trigger it at all, making them think they were going crazy.

Works best in a teleport maze style dungeon, but it's just an uncovered spike pit in the middle of the room. In the pit, around the rim of the spikes is a circle of teleportation with the destination set to 15ft directly above the spike pit. The obvious "exit" to the room is a circle of teleportation with the same destination (15ft directly above the spike pit). The actual exit is behind an illusory wall in a corner of the room. GM's choice as to the save that the player can try to make to escape the spike pit loop but I'm partial to Dex if no other players think of a way to intervene.
