I’ve made a modified version that should set the tamper flag if the alarm triggers. Once I verify it is working (I’m not at the house, so I can’t test the changes by pulling off a sensor!) I’ll post the trivial change, should anyone want to detect their sensors falling off/being tampered with.

We’ve requested / proposed an official new Capability (“Tamper Alert”) to be added to the Taxonomy. This could help ensure more frequent and consistent implementation of this type of status into Device Handlers (for device types that have the actual ability).

No update from @duncan or @Ben or @April as to when we could expect new Capability requests to be put on the ST timeline, yet.

Capability Tamper Alert

Lots of devices have tamper alarm functionality of some kind. There’s been a lot of discussion about this both internally and in the community, but I think it’s best to keep it simple: attributes: tamper — [“clear”, “detected”] (Based on smoke detector capability.) This event would be expected to have a detailed account of the tamper alert as the descriptionText, and notifications triggered by this event would use that. commands: resetTamperAlert() For devices that don’t tell us when the “tampering event” is over. Usually wouldn’t be a real device command, it would just change the state of the ‘tamper’ attribute. And yes, we can work this capability into an automatic notification system like was done for Battery. I would also like to see an option to use the accelerometer on t…
