When I got an inexpensive vibration sensor from amazon and went to use it with the built in Laundry smart app I realized it wouldn’t work as it registers as a door sensor with open closed. Then I further realized after searching the device types there is NO generic zwave vibration/acceleration devic…

Thank you very much for this effort. I do not have a need, but I can assure you that others here in the community will enjoy what you have built here. Thank you again

I’m a bit of a noob when it comes to this, do I copy this code in to “My device handlers”? Sorry if its already pointed out somewhere else… Thanks! EDIT- I figured it out - it goes in “My device handlers”. -Brian

It would pickup the vibration from the “bang” when the crook hit the window to break it. Even knocking on the window, as you would a door will register on this sensor. IDK about this one, but the mono price one I purchased allows the sensitivity to be adjusted. I left mine at the factory setting, as…

Ok good to know. Thanks. I would just worry about hooking it into my alarm system and then having a blast of thunder or a car stereo set off the whole alarm system while I’m gone.

The sensitivity on this device can be adjusted to fit the need. I have 2 coming tomorrow and will do some testing on a sliding glass door over the new year weekend. I will try to find a way to report the sensitivity to the group.

I cam across a problem with this sensor. So the detection of vibration can be set very light. The vibration can also be set so a harder impact. The problem i have is that the use of ceramics to break the glass is not reported even at the most sensitive settings. with these on patio door (Sliding gla…

Thank you so much for the code. I bought a Mono price shock sensor and it works perfectly.
