Although vibration sensors are among the more niche things you can get for your smart home, there are some useful & creative ways to implement them.

Part 3 covers design with a single-axis and triaxial sensors, design and modal analysis, external cable simulation, and vibration sensor mounting.

Smart home automation is the ultimate life hack, in my humble opinion. Whether for efficiency, accessibility, nerding out, or just plain laziness, all you need are smart home devices and a little ...

A spring vibration sensor is a simple device that can be used as a poor man’s accelerometer, or simply to detect vibration. All you need is a length of conductive wire, a 10 kΩ resistor, and a ...

In need of a vibration sensor? Don't want the complexity of an accelerometer? How about a miniature implementation of an old-fashioned rattling-bits-of-metal switch.

With an ESP32 and a simple sensor, I can slap my table to turn on my PC for less than $5.

The idea behind this compact and economical Vibration Sensor Alarm is very simple. It uses a cheap and cheerful vibration sensor to drive a piezo-sounder.

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay have successfully made low-cost piezo-resistive vibration sensors using polyurethane foam coated with carbon nanomaterial-based ink ...

The current sensor design adds shaft surface acceleration measurements. Currently available proximity probes used as shaft vibration sensors at bearings cannot measure torque.

How does the enclosure's orientation impact performance? In Part 1, we covered modal analysis, the Timoshenko differential equation of vibration, and the type of material to use for a design.
