Monoprice Z-Wave Plus Shock Detector and Acceleration Sensor

This Z-Wave Plus sensor detects the vibrations, examples of it use include:

  • intruder trying to break into a window/door
  • someone opening a drawer
  • movement of an object

The sensitivity can also be adjusted, so the system can be configured to ignore spurious vibrations, such as those caused by a passing car with a too-loud stereo system.

It supports both, Shock Sensor capability and also a Vibration/Acceleration Sensor capability, for use with Vera.
