Vibration Sensor, Requires AQARA HUB, Zigbee Connection

Got this to add to my Home Assistant setup, for detecting shaking from my washing machine. I had to set it to high sensitivity to react to small vibrations but it works. Do not forget to change the time for the reset of the vibration sensor for continuous vibrations such as a washer. Works perfectly with my sonoff zigbee stick, instantly paired after holding the button on the small sensor. I really just expected this to be a vibration sensor and that's it, but oh my, it is a Temperature sensor too! This small guy reports Temperature, Vibration, Motion and the Angle it is at!? This is a great little device to have around! I am using Zigbee2mqtt with mosquitto and HomeAssistant, and as soon as Z2M picked it up the entity was visible in HomeAssistant with all sensors reporting almost immediately. Why almost you ask? Temperature and Battery took a little while to come through as it only reports every 5 minutes or so. Overall I am very satisfied with it, the only small thing is the packaging, its oversized for such a small device, lots of paper waste. But otherwise works wonderfully and will certainly buy more in the long run!

The Aqara Vibration Sensor integrates seamlessly with Home Assistant, offering a smooth and hassle-free setup. It's compact and unobtrusive, fitting easily on windows, doors, and even my letterbox without standing out. The response time is quick, and configuration is minimal. Whether you’re securing entry points or keeping track of mail, this sensor does the job effectively. For anyone looking for a reliable, easy-to-use vibration sensor, I highly recommend this one.

The vibration sensor is a bit of hit and miss it sometimes detect motion when there is in motion

This little sensor has all the benefits of the Aqara system (e.g. it's cheap, well made, integrates easily to HomeKit and Home Assistant). My only caution is consider your use case carefully before buying it. It's seriously sensitive, so will generate alerts in response to pretty much any vibration. It would be perfect to place on a window to determine if it was smashed, for example. However, I got it to notify me when my washing machine had finished and I found it wasn't recognising vibrations throughout the cycle - it just didn't seem to reset itself fast enough after the initial vibration. Returned it and got a full refund so top marks Aqara / Amazon for customer service.

Connected directly to Home Assistant via Conbee II zigbee dongle without Aqara hub. Simple to connect, works a treat. I’m not sure i would choose this brand without HA but for this purpose they are a great option compared to more expensive brands.

Vibration sensor works but the thermometer is poor... Not even close to being accurate, about 5c out and only works in whole numbers. Complete waste of money

I don't know if I mentioned this before, but I love Aqara devices. They just work efficiently and effortlessly. I've got door sensors, temperature/humidity sensors/vibration sensors all from Aqara. For me they are only way to go for home automation and especially good integrating with Home assistant without a hub through ZigBee. Top notch stuff. Thanks Aqara

Too many false alarms to be considered reliable or even useful

It's small and very handy, does his job good.

このセンサーは、新しい郵便が届いたことを知らせてくれる用途で使っています。郵便受けのフタに取り付けて、誰かが投函するとすぐに通知が飛んできます。 さらに、HomePodと連携して、新着の郵便を感知したら1分間の自然音を流すように設定しています。スマホが手元になくても気づけるので、とても便利です。

Extremt bra komplement till att bygga sitt egna smarta hem.

I purchased two. These work great and are an acceptable price. They are not fully functional in Alexa routines. I used these to tell me when my washer and dryer completed their cycle. I didn’t purchase the feature on the machines when I purchased them 14 years ago.
