Why would my plug have an accelerometer?

[acoustic hill]

Title says it all, my plug can tell me when there is movement. I cannot think of many possible reasons this a entity on a plug.

1. To turn off power if it notices any movement
2. To tell if it is being tampered with?

Any ideas why?

Why would my plug have an accelerometer?

Can you link to the product you're talking about?

it was a generic amazon purchase. It is just labeled as a Dome On/Off Plug in Hubitat. I think this is it

But mine might just be white labeled

I'm wondering if it's like an interview that went bad or something. I've heard of zwave devices manifesting goofy wrong entities if there's some kind of corruption during the interview.

I'd maybe try a re-interview.

these are all brought in from the hubitat jsut FYI i have 4 of thm and all 4 show the same thing

The hubitat also shows it

and if I tap it it will activate this entity

It has to be there for some reason I would tink or it was already on the chip so they exposed it?

using some kind of generic input board

It seems this is a tamper alert

Which is just an accelerometer . Not sure why you need this but it exists on a lot of sensors
