I'm trying to set a trigger based on a Zooz ZSE-43 Tilt state, but the only triggers that are available for that device are for the shock sensor. Is there any way to expose the Open/Close states to Rule Machine?
C8 - 2.4.1.164
ZSE-43 - Firmware 1.2
As shown, you have to make sure the tilt sensor is enabled in the settings. Then you will need to wake the device so the hub can push the settings to it.
Then when you activate the tilt after that it should show up as a new state.
Thanks for the replies, but this is in reference to the tilt state being accessible as a trigger in Rule Machine. I already have it configured successfully as a tilt sensor, and also utilizing the Zooz Garage Door app, but I can't access the tilt state within Rule Machine. I can access the Open/Close state of the Garage Door, but that doesn't update until the delay time has executed (15 seconds in my case), and I'm trying to get the state sooner.
Custom
Or contact as stated below, if that's what you have in your states.
Can you show a screenshot of your Current States from the device?

Use Contact. When tilted, it will show as "open". Otherwise, as "closed".

@jtp10181, FYI, I've been using the ZSE43 with your driver for a couple years now. There is no explicit Tilt attribute. I can't remember as it's been so long, but I somehow figured out that Contact is Tilt and just went with it. In hindsight, I think Contact is fine. How would "Tilt" be conveyed anyway? tilted/untilted? Or maybe boolean true/false?
Thanks. I saw that, but interpreted it as a literal contact state, as opposed to the sensor state.

Sorry I didn't pick up on the original question.
As a side note, the built in one is like that as well:
edit: Although, what's acceleration. Wait, I don't want to know.
Too bad you asked, if you are using my driver I had it on there as I was going to make an option to pick between shock and acceleration, but then when I made it just shock only no one complained so I never added the option to switch it.
The device usually has an acceleration sensor, so I assume that's where that came from. I think one of the first community drivers, or maybe the system driver uses acceleration instead of shock.
Some of the Zooz motion sensors have the acceleration sensor also, but it gets used as a tamper alert.

BTW, thanks for all the Zooz drivers. Besides the ZSE43s, I have over 40 Zooz switches and dimmers, as well as a range extender and a receptacle.
