Aqara Vibration Sensor

The Aqara Vibration Sensor is a compact Zigbee device that detects vibration, tilt, and drop movements using a high-precision acceleration sensor. This versatile sensor attaches to doors, windows, safes, or valuable objects to alert you when movement is detected. Requiring an Aqara hub (M2 or M1S recommended), the sensor integrates with Apple HomeKit for automation and monitoring.

The sensor distinguishes between three types of motion: vibration (like knocking or shaking), tilt (angular movement), and drop (falling). This enables nuanced automations—trigger lights when someone knocks, alert when a cabinet is opened, or notify when an object is moved. The sensitivity level is adjustable through the Aqara app from high sensitivity (level 1) to low sensitivity (level 21).

The ultra-low power design achieves up to 2 years of battery life from a single CR2032 cell. The compact 36x36x9mm size and included adhesive mounting make installation discreet on nearly any surface. For Home Assistant users, Zigbee2MQTT provides direct integration without the Aqara hub. For security-minded users wanting to monitor valuable items or detect unauthorized access, this sensor provides versatile motion detection in a tiny package.
