I live in an apartment and the door phone is not smart. So I have attached an Aqara vibration sensor to the door phone as a trigger. The vibration is not strong enough to trigger the alarm, so I use the vibration level. It works great, but there is a 3-4 minute delay. There is no delay on the alarm, if I activate it manually. What to do? UPDATE: still no luck with Aqara. Bought a Fibaro Multi sensor (z-wave) and it does the trick just perfect. ---

Yes. If I tap it hard myself, then the vibration alarm reacts immediately ---

I don’t know exactly how this sensor works, but I would expect it to have a (settable) threshold (or sensitivity) above which an alarm is raised. I think the delay may come from the vibration level being too low for an alarm to trigger so the sensor only sends a periodic update every X minutes. ---

I have made a flow based on vibration strength bigger than 10. It reacts every time, but with a 3-4 minute delay. That is not the case if I use the vibration alarm. But this only reacts at stronger vibrations. I can’t change any relevant parameters. ---

I’ve the same Vibration sensor from Aqara, connected to Homey via Aqara & Xiaomi zigbee App by Ted Tolboom and it is reacting immediately as vibration pass the set threshold value. ---

Are you using the vibration alarm as trigger or the level of vibration strength? ---

ahh ok. That disn’t work for me, because the vibration from the buzzing wasn’t strong enough to activate the alarm. But I still got a reading of the vibration strength. So I made a flow to react on the strength. Unfortunately it takes 3-4 minutes from the ‘buzz’ to the report in the system? ---

where do you set the threshold? ---

My Aqara says the vibration is always 91 (x time ago). Never goes to 0. Can I reset it somewhere?
