@shortwavesurfer You are exactly right. I like the Third Reality vibration sensor because it gives you a nice ability to tweak the sensitivity. Also, in Home Assistant I use a helper to sample the sensor over a second or two and compute the median. This eliminates a lot of spurious detections. Like any detector, there is always a tradeoff between false alarms and missed detections. This sensor has a nice sweet spot that is not hard to dial in.
