I've been using this for a couple of years now to monitor if my greenhouse vent is open and if so how open it is, this feature is way more useful than the vibration sensing nature of it
@@3ATIVEof course go right ahead, I have it set for open, close, opening or closing depending on last few minutes and then a couple of rough positions. Handy to track versus internal temperature
I’d love to stick one of these to my piano to detect vibration and run light and todolist automations. Maybe I will stick it to a pop socket attachment or something, and use it as a rotational light switch as well, like you did. Pretty useful tip especially if you’ve already got one of these, thanks 🙏🏾
@@3ATIVE The keyboard I have in mind doesn’t, so I suppose I could use the vibration for that instead. Great idea for the keys upstairs though, haha. Using those values to see whether the lid is open/closed would be very interesting as well. I just installed Home Assistant on a mini-pc for the first time yesterday, so it’s all very new and exciting for me 😂😂 thank you so much.
Now that's what I call a purr-fect use of technology! Just don't forget to factor in your cat's occasional "cattitude" - we don't want any clawful miscalculations! LMAO

That's a cool use case. Thanks for sharing, I'm looking for ideas for my upcoming tutorial - do you mind if I use this idea for it?

That's a cool use-case. If your keys have a lid you could use that "angle" for the Light?

@@eagle56786 NICE! - Welcome to the "Club". Once you get your system setup, I hope some more of my tutorials will be equally useful for you. 👋
perfect application for a cat flap - depending of the movement the cat is out or in! have to work on that
