Evaluation of key product features

⚖️ Compare features with other products of your choice

The sensor detects any movement or tilt of the surface on which it is installed and instantly alerts you with a notification via the connected Homematic IP system. Installation is really easy: you choose the desired location and attach it with either glue or screws - completely without the need for additional cables or drilling into the walls.

The main advantage of the sensor is its reliable detection of both vibrations and tilts, which allows for a wide range of applications: protecting window sills, doors, safes or even valuable technological devices. Since it is battery-operated, you can place it completely freely where you need it most - independent of sockets or electrical wiring.

Compatibility with the Homematic IP ecosystem means that you can easily integrate it into your larger smart home setup. It does require a central unit (Homematic IP Hub) to operate, which enables even more secure and local communication. If you already have this brand's ecosystem, the transition is completely seamless, and otherwise it represents an excellent starting point for a fully customizable smart security setup.

It stands out for its high detection sensitivity and minimalist design that blends in with the interior of your home. When you want to simply and effectively monitor movements or increase security, this sensor is the right helper for you.

Same summary

The Homematic IP HmIP-STV smart tilt and vibration sensor is suitable for users looking for additional protection or automation in a smart home, especially for indoor spaces. It works best in environments where it makes sense to detect movements, tilts of window sashes, doors or other moving parts, and when unwanted vibrations occur. The required connection to the central unit means that the sensor is not intended for standalone use, but is ideal for those who already use the Homematic IP smart system or plan to build one. It is designed for indoor conditions; therefore, it is not recommended to install it outdoors or in areas with high humidity.
