IFTTT trigger on Multipurpose Sensor vibration (accelerometer)

[czeque (John)]

Is there a place to suggest a new IFTTT trigger? I have a scenario where I’d like to initiate an action when the multipurpose sensor’s accelerometer detects vibration. For example: if the sensor on my front door detects vibration (knocking), then trigger a porch light, Arlo camera begins recording, etc.

Couldn’t you create a virtual switch then have that virtual switch turn on when vibration is detected and connect that virtual switch to the Arlo via IFTTT?

You can also use this smartapp to control your virtual switch.
