Aqara Vibration Sensor T1
Accurate vibration, shock and tamper detection for appliances & assets
The Aqara Vibration Sensor T1 is a compact, battery‑powered sensor that detects vibrations, shocks, tilt and tampering to protect appliances, cabinets, doors, windows and mounted equipment. When motion or an unusual vibration pattern is detected, the sensor sends instant notifications to your smart home system and can trigger automation routines—helping you prevent damage, theft, or mechanical faults.
Reliable Vibration & Tamper Detection for Smart Monitoring
The sensor continuously monitors vibration and orientation using a precision accelerometer. It can reliably detect light knocks, moderate impacts, continuous vibration (e.g., from running appliances) and sudden shocks. Use the data to receive immediate alerts, log events for diagnostics, or automate safety responses — for example, turn off a machine, switch on lights, or notify homeowners and facility managers.
How It Works
The Aqara Vibration Sensor T1 uses an onboard accelerometer to sense movement, shock and tilt. When configured thresholds are exceeded, the device transmits an event to the connected gateway which then forwards push notifications and executes automations. Sensitivity and event types (vibration, shock, tilt, tamper) are typically configurable from your hub or app to match the installation environment and reduce false positives.
Key Benefits
- Detects vibration, impact (shock), tilt and tamper for comprehensive protection.
- Instant alerts and automation triggers help prevent damage, theft, or equipment failure.
- Small, unobtrusive form factor — easy to mount on appliances, door frames, cabinets or machinery.
- Battery‑powered for flexible placement (long battery life under normal use).
- Works with smart home hubs to integrate into security and automation scenes.
