Vibration Sensor
A vibration sensor detects movement, tilt, and shock through an accelerometer. It reports knocks, drops, and disturbances that motion and contact sensors miss.
Vibration sensors use an accelerometer to detect three kinds of events: vibration (a knock or tap), tilt (a change in angle), and free fall or drop. That makes them useful where a contact or motion sensor cannot tell the whole story.
How Selora AI uses vibration sensors
- Security recipes that detect someone tampering with a door, window, or safe.
- Appliance monitoring that knows when a washer or dryer cycle finishes by sensing vibration stop.
- Asset alerts that fire when a valuable item is moved or knocked.
Tuning sensitivity
Vibration sensors need their sensitivity tuned to the surface they are mounted on. Set it too high and passing traffic triggers false alerts; too low and a genuine event is missed. Zigbee models keep this logic local and battery friendly.
