Aqara Vibration Sensor, Requires AQARA HUB, Zigbee Connection

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.

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

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.

No hub required if running a Zigbee coordinator like DeConz in Home Assistant as I am. Just pair and go. Not as sensitive as I'd hoped it would be, so no good for my intended use which was to detect when the tumble dryer is running. Maybe this 20+yr old re-branded Creda sheet metal monstrosity is actually super smooth running because when stuck to it this sensor stays fast asleep. Give it a tap and it's awake, but not if there's the vibration from the motor. It's now on the underside of my office chair so I can see roughly how long I spend at my desk. And I had no luck changing the sensitivity. As an aside, I used an Aqara window sensor and a 240v coil relay connected to the dryer motor power feed. When the motor is running the relay opens the connection (reed switch removed) and there it is 'Running' in Home Assistant.

I hoped I would have a better experience with this sensor than other purchasers but sadly not. As others have said, even set at its most sensitive, this sensor detects vibrations inconsistently or not at all. The best I could manage was to get it to sometimes detect the beginning of a vibration but never to register the continuation of that vibration which meant I couldn't use it as planned to detect when a pump is running. I returned the Aqara and purchased a Third Reality vibration sensor which is having no trouble detecting when the pump is on.

Bought these for two purposes. 1, to know when the washing machine finished a cycle. 2, to know when someone knocks on the front door instead of ringing the bell. This device failed in both scenarios. Literally hitting the vibration sensor itself rarely triggers a detected state. You have to pretty violently shake it to trigger a detected state. Paired it with Home Assistant.

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

Extremt bra komplement till att bygga sitt egna smarta hem.

I really like the aqara system and use both the hub 2 and 3 in my ecosystem. I wanted to understand when a home waste pump was running and for how long becuase the pump is in an area of the house that is out of ear shot. It was a bit of a test to see if this vibration sensor would work because the vibrations from this pump are so minute. I did need to do some trial and error on where to place the sensor but ultimately discovered a spot that would work very quickly. I placed the sensor or high sensitivity in the app to get it to work perfectly. The sensor come with some great very sticky attachment tape that hasn't budged. The app stores data and I can go in and review how often it has gone off and for how long. It has been perfect for my use case.
