Aqara vibration sensor orientation to trigger automation

[deluc (Jan)]

Hey guys,
I’m pretty new to HA, I got a Aqara vibration senson and added it to my vacuum robot. I now want to trigger an automation when I close my robot after cleaning my dust bin. I tried to use the orientation value of the sensor in an automation, but it didn’t work. How can i get the second value (1) to trigger my automation?

Thank you!

I think the first thing you need to do is capture the events from the sensor using Developer Tools - Events, enter “zha_event” and press “Start Listening” and you should see something like this:

You can then use this information in an automation trigger and conditions as per the example below:

I don’t have a vibration sensor so I could be wrong however there would be no harm trying the above.

try this

Xiaomi Vibration Sensor. A simple Automation for detecting state on and off

As is well documentation in these forums, the vibration sensor created in the Xiaomi Gateway integration does not have a state that is functional. No matter how the device is handled , the state never changes. It does not match the Xiaomi Mi home app which show each state change. The only attribute that is useful for triggering automatons or setting templates is last_action which will state the last action the device detected vibrate,tilt or free_fall However the last_action state never re…

@lonebaggie Do I need to have the Aqara bridge for this? Because I connected my vibration sensor directly to my conbee II.

@Jonah1970 Sadly nothing happens when listening to zha_event.

[Jonah1970 (Mark)]

OK, sorry it did not help.

[lonebaggie]

Sorry yes my solution use the xiaomi hub

I found someone who got it to work. He uses the y angle to trigger. But sadly he doesn’t respond.

Roborock Hack Home Assistant

This is his code, I tried to adapt it, but I failed. Anyone got an idea how to make it work?

I added a sensor in my sensor.yaml. Now I get the three angles as own sensor.

    # Angle Sensor Roborock
        roborock_angle:
            value_template: "{{ state_attr('binary_sensor.vibration_1', 'orientation')}}"
            friendly_name: Angle Sensor Roborock
            unit_of_measurement: '°'
