Aqara Vibration Sensor - Zigbee accelerometer sensor that detects vibration, tilt and drop, fully local

Quick verdict

The Aqara Vibration Sensor uses an accelerometer to detect vibration, tilt and drop, and pairs locally through zigbee2mqtt or ZHA. It is popular for sensing when a washer or dryer cycle finishes. Note that some angle and accelerometer values can be inconsistently exposed depending on your Zigbee stack version, so the core vibration trigger is the reliable part.

Standout: Zigbee accelerometer sensor that detects vibration, tilt and drop, fully local.

Local control facts

Home Assistant: zha integration, Local Polling (home-assistant.io, checked Sep 10, 2026)
Zigbee2MQTT: supported device, listed as Aqara DJT11LM (Vibration sensor) (zigbee2mqtt.io, checked Sep 10, 2026)

Why it stands out

detects vibration, tilt and drop using a built-in accelerometer
fully local via zigbee2mqtt or ZHA
adjustable sensitivity in zigbee2mqtt

Reasons to hesitate

some accelerometer/angle values are inconsistently exposed depending on the Zigbee stack version
requires a Zigbee coordinator (Aqara officially supports only their own hub, but ZHA/zigbee2mqtt work)
shorter rated battery life (around 2 years) than Aqara's simpler sensors
