The Xiaomi Aqara Vibration Sensor is a sensor that can protect your valuables by detecting vibrations. It can be placed on an opening (drawer, door) or directly on the object to be protected. As soon as the vibration exceeds a programmable threshold, a notification is sent to the Xiaomi gateway.
Until now, it was necessary to be satisfied with the contactor of door or magnetic window to detect the opening of other opening. For example, a drawer, the door of the fridge, the freezer, a safe, the door of a cabinet or wine cellar. Problems with metal surfaces or in the presence of a magnet could make it more difficult to install the sensor. The new sensor Xiaomi Aqara Vibration Sensor corrects the problem by using an accelerometer that can detect vibrations and deduce an opening or displacement. The sensor operates using a 3V CR2032 lithium battery. The lifetime announced by Xiaomi is 2 years. Of course, the life will depend on the object protected or monitored by the sensor. A table of great value moves a little less than the fridge door 🙂
