Just installed an Aqara vibration sensor, surprised to see it’s not used for activity in a zone!

Sorry for resurrecting this thread. I would also like to be able to set zone activity manually for some devices - like a seat detector for instance. Anyone got a workaround until Athom comes to their senses and allows us to set a detector to INCLUDE in zone activity and not just exclude specific detectors…?
