Aqara Vibration Sensor Toilet and Trash Can Setup and Review
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Today I setup and review the Aqara Vibration Sensor (Zigbee) connected to HomeKit via my M2 Hub. I test out its vibration sensitivity on my toilet bowl, in an attempt to prevent wasting water when my toilet flapper fails to go down all the way. I also test out its tilt sensitivity on my garbage can to alert me when my dog gets into the trash. Please let me know of you have any comments, suggestions, or questions. If you are interested in the Aqara products featured today, you can find their links below.
UPDATE 7/18/23!!!
I left the sensor on the water line overnight, and today I had several successfully triggered events. Despite showing a "good" Zigbee signal yesterday, today it is showing "poor". It makes me wonder if the problem is not the sensor, but rather a poor Zigbee signal. Perhaps the solution will be having a repeater somewhere between my hub and the sensor. I will be investigating further and will share if I get everything working.

Put the vibration sensor inside of the tank, mounted to the top side of the float. Put inside a ziplock bag and mount it using rubber bands.
About using the vibration sensor on the toilet; If it were working, wouldn't it be awkward if you're getting a notification, every time when someone used the toilet? It would make sense to use the sensor, if you could set it up with a command like "if the vibration occurs longer than 20 seconds, prompt a message". Right?

Yup. In Aqara, from my understanding, you can set up a rule to trigger based on no vibration, or a vibration reset. It seems like he's using the M2 hub and he could setup that automation in homekit (Home) app.
How to replace the battery when the sensor is attached on the surface?

You have to rotate the device 10 degrees, then the top part comes off exposing the battery inside.
