Ring glass break sensor. Battery level 100%.
What works: 1. When I run the automation manually (Actions > Ellipsis Menu > Run) I received a text message with the alert. I.e. the Twilio side works. 2. In the device LogBook I see tamper notifications when I open the device cover. 3. When I press the button on the device, I get a heartbeat notification in the log book.
What doesn’t work: 1. I placed the glass break sensor on a shelf next to my metal trash can, put some glass bottles in the bottom and threw another bottle in the bottom creating a loud crash. Nothing happens on Home Assistant. No entries show up in the Logbook. The automation is not triggered. 2. I played youtube videos of glass breaking with the sensor directly next to the speakers. No affect. 3. Dropping the sensor about 6 inches onto my desk as the youtube videos play.
