:Hi,
I am looking for a device which register vibrations which looks better then:
And the smartthings multi sensor cannot be configured about the vibration settings, which makes it possible that you have false alarms.
Does anyone know of a device which looks better / isn’t noticed that much from the inside, which makes sure that the alarm will go off when someone trows in the window. I don’t want the alarm to go off when they are already in, but before that, and i don’t want a camera/motion sensor outside.
The Vision Shock Sensor you linked to might not look as good as some of the others, but the sensitivity is adjustable and it eliminates the need to have a vibration sensor and a contact sensor.
You can attach a small cheap dumb sensor like this to the internal contacts and use this DTH to have it work as a motion sensor and contact sensor.
Disclaimer: If the window is closed and opens, you’ll know that it opened, but it doesn’t automatically report closed again once it’s shut.
“Looks better” is pretty subjective. In general they’re all gonna look like small plastic boxes though.
I use this one:

It’s not a vibration sensor, it’s an acoustic sensor that’s listening for a particular pattern (which the sound of breaking glass fits). So it doesn’t go on the window directly. You could put it on the ceiling or a wall nearby, and anyone that sees it will probably assume it’s a smoke detector.
