Data from the official Heiman and Moes sites.
2026 verdict
Price and SmartThings support put the Heiman Smart Vibration Sensor HS1VS series ahead of the Moes Zigbee Smart Vibration Sensor, two otherwise similar Zigbee vibration sensors running on two AAA batteries.
Heiman works with both SmartThings and Home Assistant, while Moes lists Home Assistant only, and Heiman documents a 3 year battery life where the Moes figure is not published. The Moes Zigbee Smart Vibration Sensor has its own argument: it documents tilt and drop detection with a separate alert for each, which the Heiman spec sheet leaves unstated. Both need a Zigbee hub, offer adjustable sensitivity and send low battery alerts. Go with Heiman on SmartThings or when cost decides, and with Moes when tilt and drop events matter in a Home Assistant setup.
