Vibration sensors

Projects General Guidance

I have a real problem, my neighbour has made a mistake when adding an extension, they have bridged the cavity wall. Now when they use their washing machine (4 times a day every day) the vibrations are transmitted through the building and when I am in bed feel these vibrations. These affect me as I have lung cancer and a heart condition. What is the most accurate sensor to pick up these vibrations and record using iot
Many thanks in advance

I don't have this sensor, so I can't say what its sensitivity level is, but since it's a very cheap product, ( < $ 1,00), it's worth trying to use it.

Surely annoying a lot but for what will You use recordings made by a home built device?

I have contacted Environmental Health who require proof as according to them there is no law covering vibration. In fact there is but still need proof. The neighbour is aware of the problem but will not take proper action to rectify. When you are woken up at 05:30 and 23:30 every day it affects your health

I think you can consider ADXL355.

Thank you

You need to find out the way how to using the law to stop this terror. Home built devices will likely not be good enough.
I've experienced a stereo turned on at high volume at 3 AM.... It was a mad house patient but my phone call question whether he had recently been resleased from that institution stopped that from happening again.....

I don't see where you need IOT? You want to measure and record vibration with accuracy. I would suggest a sensor designed for your application. Sensors made for this do not come inexpensive or simply put, cheap. Companies like Endevco come to mind or another is Piezotronics. If you want to make a case to anyone you best have good credible numbers as in measuring the G Force of the vibration and charting it. You also want to include a DTG (Date Time Group) on your graph.

I have a real problem also. Seems you started another thread but wanted a vibe sensor for a machine? So Buttercup or Teacup what's it going to be?

Whilst the vibration is annoying to you, I think that the amplitude of the vibrations is going to be too small to measure using standard accelerometers.

I have only replied to people who have emailed me.I have not started another thread so yes you do have a problem

Hi John

I have now decided to go with a MIT-Motion
WTVB01-485 after chatting with the company
