Hi,
I made an automation that should send a notification to my iPhone when someone opens the mailbox
I have put a Aqara vibration sensor in the mailbox
I have used the trigger “device tilted” but nothing happens?
When a use the trigger vibration it works fine?
But the problem is, that the mailbox have vibration when large vehicles is driving by?

If you are using ZHA I am not sure that the TILT or DROP are exposed through the entity and you will instead need to check the zha_event.
My recommendation is to go to Developer Tools > Events and start listening to zha_event
then tilt your sensor to find the proper element you need.

Ok, tilt shows up in the drop down in trigger sektion of automation and yes I’m using ZHA.
I Will try your solution
Thanks
Fik du det til at virke?.
I think the tilt sensor detects rotational movement, not leaning. I have it mounted the the lock mechanism on my safe. So the sensor rotates when I turn the handle. Ill get notification based on the rotation.
Im using ZHA.
If you have it mounted to the door, it would just lean. Maybe that tilt doesnt work.
