Buyer's guide

What can a vibration sensor detect?

Knocks, tilts, and drops: a washer or dryer finishing, a mailbox opening, a window being forced, or a door being knocked on.

Can it tell me when the laundry is done?

Yes. Stick it on the washer or dryer and set an automation for when vibration stops for a few minutes.

How long do the batteries last?

Most battery sensors on these lists are rated for one to three years, depending on how often they report. Low-power radios like Zigbee, Z-Wave, and Thread last much longer than Wi-Fi.
