Sound and vibration sensors

Overview

My Implementation

Vibration sensor to detect vibration. Planned projects could include notifications if appliances are running, break-ins, or even moles in the yard. Integration with Home Assistant through ESPHome custom apps. MakerHawk 4pcs Analog Ceramic Piezo Vibration Sensor This Ceramic Piezo Vibration Piece Sensor buffers a piezoelectric transducer that responds to strain changes by generating a measurable output voltage change which is proportional with the strength of vibration. So you can know the extent of vibration. Different from digital vibration sensor that only accounts times, this analog one can tell extent of vibration. Working Voltage: 3.3V or 5V. Working Current: 1mA. Interface Type: Analog Output. Connect controller's analog port A0 in accordance with the procedure, then observe the output value of serial port when the vibration degree.
