Hi, i looking for door / window sensor with tilt / tamper function. I check specs some sensors but in difrent sources they have difrent info about tilt function. Some times producers dont mention about tilt function but in some shops / forum users talk about that those sensors has tilt for example Aqara - no info about tilt function on producers website but people Talking about that…

Could you recomend some window / door sensors with tilt function and tamper? I want to use difrent Flow when sensor is in tilt Mode and dif when window is open.

Yes and no. You do not have option there if window or door are open or close.

Probably producers doesn’t mention about it on their website, because this function is not reliable. I have 5 Aeotec sensors, and I had to try mounting them on different windows to achieve proper tilt reports. All windows are the same, but there may be very subtle differences in tilt range. And sensors also differ between themselves. So, after many tries, all sensors on all windows reports correctly tilt, but it took some time to match sensor to the window.
