Fibaro motion as schocksensor

I got a question about the settings for a schoksensor.
The following settings are set:
20 Tamper sensitivity - 1
22 tamper alarm cancelation delay - 30 sec
24 tamper operation modes - 4
The 'motion general purpose alarm' changes to In Alarm and back when vibrations are detected. However the value of the device is just 0 or 255 and not a percentage as i expected.
Is this normal behavior?

The alarm node is an on/off sensor. It will not tell you the level of the earthquake.
Their advertising kind of suggests it but if you read more carefully they just say it will detect shocks the humans will not notice yet. Guess if you live in Groningen you can set it to a very high sensitivity and get a warning before you feel it. ( and probably every truck that drives in the area.....

Thx for the reply however if i look at the manual at chapter X you see the image that Home Center 2 displays it in percentages. So where does that value come from then?

I dont know. I've just checked in HS3 and I only see 0-255 for off and on. I guess Fibaro implemented something outside the Zwave protocol? Which they can use in their system only?

Must be something like that. The Fibaro Smoke Sensor also has a Black Box functionality with detailed sensor reading levels, but this data can only be read by the HC.
