The motion and vibration sensor is a high-precision acceleration sensor with lots of possibilities. It can sense motion in multiple directions like object vibrations, tilts, and falls. The device can push an  alarm to your gateway, but you can also set all kinds of automations. It is powered by a CR2032 battery and can last up to three years.
Here are some ideas what the sensor can do:

  • See if someone opened the fridge (at night) - tilt/angle
  • See if the washer or dryer is done - stop vibration
  • See if the garage door is open - tilt
  • See if someone opened your drawer - vibration
  • Alert when some one moves your painting or other valuable - tilt/fall
  • Sense glass breakage - vibration/fall
  • Track your sleep - stop/start vibration
  • Monitor the doorbell - start vibration

The sensor has adjustable sensitivity: high, medium, low which can help to reduce the chance of false alarms.

The sensor seems to be a bit limited at first if you just look at it as a vibration sensor. When you know it can sense all kinds of movement it is actually very versatile. The sensor is not so much limited on specific placement so you can monitor a door or window where the standard door sensor will not fit, for example a garage door or a sliding door.
