Device role
Tilt Sensor
A tilt sensor reports its orientation, typically used to detect whether a garage door, gate, or hatch is open, closed, or partially open.
Tilt sensors are most commonly attached to garage doors, side gates, and basement hatches, where a simple open-or-closed contact cannot detect the swing of a panel.
How Selora AI uses tilt sensors
- Garage door state for “leaving home” and “arriving home” automations.
- Security recipes that need to know if a hatch or gate is open at night.
- Energy savings, for example reminding the homeowner to close the garage door after a configurable timeout.
