Hello community,
I wanted to share my automation for recognizing when someone knocks on my door.
I use an Aqara Door Sensor and an Aqara Vibration Sensor.
I placed the vibration sensor in the center of the door on the inside where you are likely to knock on.
Here are the code snippets:
configuration.yaml (You may have to merge them correctly)
template:
- binary_sensor:
- name: "Door Knocked"
unique_id: "doorknocked"
state: ""
device_class: vibration
icon: mdi:door
Automation (If you use iOS you have to replace the Critial Notifications part, see docs here)
alias: Door Knock
description: >-
Notify me when my door was knocked, resets the binary_sensor on detection
after 10s, has a timeout of 30s set on the sensor
triggers:
- domain: mqtt
device_id: 070e7406423f2c47b272119ebf8ca8f2
type: action
subtype: vibration
trigger: device
conditions: []
actions:
- choose:
- conditions:
- condition: state
entity_id: binary_sensor.room_contact
state: "off"
for:
hours: 0
minutes: 0
seconds: 5
sequence:
- parallel:
- action: python_script.set_state
data:
entity_id: binary_sensor.door_knocked
state: "on"
- action: chime_tts.say
metadata: {}

announce: true
message: Your door was knocked
chime_path: whistle
target:
device_id: c30206b074fc182361cc5288f4bc67a3

Here is a variant of the automation that should also be compatible for ZHA users
alias: Door Knock (Only HA entities)

I have configured the sensor like this via Z2MQTT, should work similarly with ZHA.
