YoLink LoRa Smart Vibration Sensor; Smart Shock, Glass Break, Tamper, Movement Detector, Generator Running, Email/SMS/Push Alerts, 1/4 Mile Open Air Range, Alexa, Hub is not Included

So - here’s the deal. Yes. This device will alert you to either vibration or the lack of vibration. Which makes it sound like you could use it to alert when the dryer stops. But there are several very important steps that are being left out here. IFTTT/Alexa/Home Assistant can all be utilized (sort of) but it’s a process of this begets this which begets this, which begets this other thing that might finally bring you to the actual alert. So… there’s that.That said, as this thing sat on my counter waiting for me to have enough brain power to decide which “this” and which “that” to use, it consistently alerted me to movement in my kitchen - which opens up a few other uses for this device.So… don’t buy this for washer/dryer alerts, but definitely buy it as a makeshift occupancy sensor or for your window panes or so you can be alerted in the case of an earthquake…..

These are great. I have them in all of my cars for overnight monitoring.If anyone tries to get foolish with any of my vehicles, this will alert my phone immediately.

I found this vibration sensor to be useful for being able to find out if my dryer (which is in the garage) is done drying. I don't have it setting any alarms as it wasn't very reliable when used in that way. I just check the Yolink phone app to see if the vibration sensor is brown or green. If it's brown, it's still drying, green indicates that it's done.

Great.... fantastic sensitivity..... makes sleeping safer with the screen open... feel much safer now.

First I want to begin saying this product works great at sensing vibration. At max vibration detection (10) it can sense a slight finger tap on the leg of a table the detector is sitting on. And as other mentioned it works well with Alexa.My disappointment was I was going to use IFTTT so I can use it with other apps like Ring or other well known apps supported by IFTTT. Unfortunately, when logging into IFTTT, no app supports the Vibration sensor form Yolink. IFTTT supports other things from YoLink like motion, leak, temperature, and smoke sensors only.Another slight disappointment is disabling the motion device seems to do nothing in alerts I get through Alexa. I am currently trying to figure out how to disable both YoLink App and Alexa's alerts with one button.I am sure with a small updated from YoLink this vibration sensor will be everything I was looking for as it already meets 90% of my needs compared to others.

I have experience with multiple IOT platforms, including YoLink, Aqara, Lutron, VOCOLink, etc… and countless sensors for each, but until now I never had or tested a vibration sensor.My use case is around the need to monitor a pool pump and ensure it comes on-line each day. As the pump is variable speed and internally computer controlled it has to be connected to power all the time so a high-power contactor is not going to work. I thought about installing a CT probe in the power panel to monitor power usage and while that would have worked there are issues with WiFi reaching inside the metal box as well as the lack of software logic to alert proactively when there is no power usage.Anyway, I tried to simplify solving the problem by just installing a vibration sensor on the pool pump, to be able to tell and be notified when the pump comes and goes off. To hedge my bets I ordered both a YoLInk and Aqara Vibration Sensors and attached both to the pump in the same location for testing.The YoLink sensor is about 3 times larger than the Aqara one but has the advantage of using 2 x AAA batteries that are easily replaceable and since they provide more power the YoLink sensor will last longer. The YoLink sensor also has a much more customized device configuration in the YoLink app with great options that allow me to setup an alert if the pump (vibration) does not occur in the AM when the pump starts! Lastly, the YoLink sensor proved to provide 10 levels of vibration sensitivity straight in their App, whereas the Aqara sensor only provides 3 levels and for changing each one you have to also press the button on the sensor. Not very practical on Aqara! Lastly, the YoLink sensor uses LoRa long range technology and has a much better connection all the way to my pool pump.I must say I am thrilled with the performance and features of the YoLink Vibration Sensor and it has solved a very frustrating problem for me which is why I wanted to recommend it.

I cannot hear my fire and burglar alarm when I take my hearing aids out at night. My alarm is on the front of the garage. I set this YoLink up to set out side on top of my alarm and I used a magnet with it so it will attach to the alarm. I sealed the sensor in a seal a meal bag cut down to size. My cell phone sets on a cell phone ringer/flasher I set the flasher on top of the charger cord to pull the cell phone tight it works when the alarm goes off out side the ringer/flasher goes off. Last night was New Years Eve and fireworks or guns set it off my alarm was not going off. I feel so safe now I wanted to pass this on because I have an old alarm system and cannot replace it as it’s thousands of dollars.

Great capability to alarm you if there is movement around your valuables,
