<p dir="auto">I have been researching and experimenting with some accelerometers and methods for an earthquake detection system for a while. I also have a diy home automation system based on Home Assistant; the earthquake detection on a ZWave Fibaro Motion Sensor, well it simply doesn't work at all even on yesterdays eartquake...</p>
<p dir="auto">This is where i thought since i have an M5Stick-C and it does have an MPU6886 i can have a simple and cheap seismometer; which i can also be used for a trigger for shut down gas valves, electricity etc automatically during an earthquake.</p>
<p dir="auto">This is the point where i am looking for your help, my first try is with IMU Wake on Motion example ino, it works pretty well with even a simple vibration, M5Stick wakes up and gives some battery details. The point i stuck is that how can i read getGyroData and getAccelData from MPU6886 during the wake on lan. I know it is not possible to make any values of Richter and SI with just a simple accelerometer, i am only looking for a comparative magnitude of vibrations whether it is weak or stong or very strong etc.</p>
<p dir="auto">Thanks for all your help...</p>
