Help me understand Tilt Angle on the Vibration sensor

I have a vibration sensor on my garage door to add in some home automation logic flows. I'm just really struggling to understand what the tilt angle is in reference to. I've attached a picture of the slight angle the sensor got stuck to the door and the tilt angles reported from the sensor when the door is closed.

Thinking in terms of X Y and Z planes - it's hard to make sense of where a tilt angle of 62 (door closed) and 0/-62 (door open) degrees comes from.

Insights appreciated. I've searched all over the Aqara site and various forums for answers and the tilt feature doesn't seem to get much discussion.

Prices going up - is there a reason for me to proactively buy a Mini?

I'd like to think I'm a pretty normal Homey Pro user - single household, not doing anything crazy. No outbuildings and decent wireless reception throughout the house.

With prices going up though - any reason I might be overlooking to buy a Mini now, for the future?

Looking for recs - good, reputable, in home senior care services; Copley area

My mother is in an independent living facility. Elderly but still functioning fine for the most part. She recently had a fall and broke her hip in a couple places. She's had two weeks of assisted care and PT in her facility, but later this week is headed back to her independent living apartment.

I'm looking for organizations that could help her out for an hour or so multiple times during the week. Just there are so many organizations that aren't good, aren't reputable, and the people who actually visit aren't very nice from our experience.

Any recommendations of service orgs in and around Copley that you have experience with as great ones to work with? Thank you so much.

Connecting a Shelly 1 Gen 4 to Homey after install

Hey folks - I know this is a Homey specific question, but since it's really more related to connecting to a Shelly device, I'm hoping I can get some help here.

Trying to automate the garage door and the Shelly is the last step. Wired up a 1 Gen 4 to my opener and turned power back on. I'm having trouble getting it paired. From reading instructions online, it should be a simple as pressing the reset button 3 times to go into pairing mode, then then I find some articles implying I need to do a full reset, find the network it's broadcasting and use a local IP address to get to it's web interface to update it's firmware?

Regardless - Homey isn't seeing anything to pair with and it's pretty reliable so my assumption is the issue is on the Shelly side.

Assuming I have the wiring correct, which I'm pretty confident on - anyone had similar issues and eventually got paired? What's the magic sequence lol?

Thanks!

Picture mainly for flair. Any rustic / wooden / natural ceiling fans out there that are "smartified"?

Thanks
