Capture phone Accelerometer and Gyroscope data

Mobile Apps

Hi there, is it possible with the Home Assistant companion app to capture the phones Accelerometer and Gyroscope data? I have a spare Android phone and would love to use it to capture any very local earthquake data by using these two sensors.

If this is possible to set up, I haven’t been able to find any documentation on it.

Thanks!

I would also be interested to know, using phone’s accelerometer would enable a fall detection automation to send alert

That’s also a very good use for it, my Google Pixel watch also notified me the other day about a potential fall – would also be nice to capture that data as well while using the companion app on the watch.
