Vibration Sensor

https://joshmccarty.com/how-to-increase-sensitivity-on-aqara-vibration-sensor-with-home-assistant-zha/

• Click/tap on Devices and open the device for the vibration sensor.
• On the device screen, click/tap on Manage Cluster. In the dialog that opens:

The ingredients:

• Raspberry Pico W
• ESP home installed on the above
