Hi,
I’ve been going in circles trying to find a sensor that matches what seems an obvious choice to me: A contact sensor (Reed, or NFC maybe?) plus vibration detection. Purpose: I want to see if my door/window is open (for sterring heating and as a reminder when leaving home) plus detect vibrations / impact. This way I can detect an enry atempt or move the shades down in case there is damage to the window from “natural causes”.
I would prefer z-wave as I have plenty of z-wave devices already. No, I don’t want to stick a door sensor AND a vibration sensor onto each Window on ground floor. I also don’t want to install the usualy quite unreliable glass-break sensors (acoustic).
I can find contact sensors and vibration sensors. Even contact sensors that have stuff build in I would never use (who needs UV-level for a sensor installed inside on the window-frame facing the room? Is that to detect a nuclear blast?).
Sarcasm aside, I’d be very happy if you could recommend me such a sensor before I start tinkering with ESP32 stuff myself…
