Thank you for this. I was trying to use one on our dryer and I swear the default setting is set to “detect asteroid impact/extinction-level event only.” To me, at least, a “vibration sensor” should pickup even a small vibration!

My Aqara Vibration Sensor keeps false triggering or the sensitivity is too high. I’ve tried reducing the sensitivity to 21, but it’s still false triggers. It’s possible that the change of setting didn’t ‘stick’, but I’m unable to read back the setting because selecting ‘Get Zigbee Attribute’ doesn’t work.

Have you figured this out? Did you make sure the device was active when you were trying to read back the setting?
Thanks for the reply ‘val.dipietro’.
I subsequently found the device unresponsive. I re-paired it and saw that the battery was low - so I’ve changed it. Having changed the battery I still can’t read back the sensitivity setting, even immediately after triggering the device.
Jim
To be clear, the only options are 1,11,21 ? and the scale is like this:
1 - very sensitive
11 - medium
21 - not sensitive
I’ve got this on a dog food lid that I want to only trigger when someone opens is (its firm so tons of movement). However it is going off when people walk by.
I used ZHA to apply the config. Any suggestions?
it sends a tilt event as well you could use that instead of the vibration. sort like in this thread… Automation based on args
That worked great, thank you

Why does everyone use a vibration sensor to see if the washing machine is ready. Just buy a aqara t1 switch and put it in the wall socket. This device measures power. just watch the idle power consumption of the washingmachine and the power consumption when active and build an automation around that. This is 100% more accurate and this device (because it has no battery) never goes to sleep and even acts as a zigbee bridge. Im gonna put a T1 in every socket in my house to monitor power and being able to shut off devices. I have one combines with the aqara humidity sensor in my bathroom to activate the fan when moisture levels are above a certain percentage and it works perfect

For me, I’m using it to see if my Dryer is done. I have a Samsung washer that sends notifications when its done, but still using an old school dryer. I haven’t found any smart outlets that are compatible with the larger outlets that dryers in the US use.

I am trying to use the vibration sensors on my washer and dryer so I will receive an alert at the begining and end of a wash/drying cycle. The 2 sensors are integrated with HA via a Conbee II USB key on a Pi but they are not detecting the vibrations of my machines for some reason. I dont now if thier sensitivity can be modified. They do respond if they are tapped a few times.
Has anyone seen this before?
I had to change the sensitivity of my Aqara vibration sensor to higher value, because it was triggering false couple times in a day.
But when try to change the sensitivity I get not executed error in my logs, anyone else experiencing this problem?
I am running Hass.io on a NUC with 2020.12.2, I am not sure if it did worked with older versions in my setup since I did not try to change it before.
This is the error I get in my logs:

I want to decrease the sensitivity setting the value to 11. I try to follow the @PrairieSnpr steps, but when I click the button ‘set zigbee attribute’ I get the error:
Error al llamar al servicio zha/set_zigbee_cluster_attribute.
Can anyone help me to resolve it?

I think I may finally have to go with clamp sensors and some kind of meter device. Because of other stuff that has to be plugged in and some stupid shaped plug design, there isn’t room to fit a smart plug of any type without introducing other headaches on the washer, but I could probably use a heavy extension cord to fix that.
The dryer is the one I find more annoying since its 240V/30A there aren’t any “plugs” that fit the dryer cords (and there are multiple designs depending when the house was built).
The stick-on-sensor option is fast and easy and can be put out of the way so it eliminates all the other complexities…at the cost of some reliability. I’ve also heard some claim that some smart-plugs may be overloaded by the current drawn by these larger appliances - I’m guessing some may dip up over 15A on spin cycle with motor startup surge current (ours has a 20A circuit just for the laundry room by itself)
do anyone of you actually use the coordinate of the tilt and orientation? If yes, any thought on how the translate into real life (vertical, tilted horizontal) or what ever else they could indicate? I cant seem to find a manual stating any of these values. I am not on ZHA yet, using the deCONZ which has no way of setting the device at all, but figure the numbers would be the same anyway?
thanks
how did u find the options to do so? i couldnt find VibrationBasicCluster also
you have to go into manage clusters:
then in the first drop down pick list you can find the cluster for doing ths.

Thanks a bunch! i d nvr figure this out myself lol. Anyway, does adjusting the sensitivity work for you?
it did way back when I did it, but I haven’t played with it recently.
