Tamper/vibration sensor warning before Alarm Trigger

Proposal

Add the ability to set a treshold for how many time a tamper/vibration sensor should be activated within a time limit before it triggers alert.

Additional info

The other day i had a bird flying into my window and set the alarm off, it could be nice if a single bump wouldn't trigger the alarm.

From my point of view, this is an issue caused by the sensor, rather than the alarm (it seems too sensitive and I suppose this is not configurable).
I think (at least for now) it's better to solve such customizations externally from Alarmo, rather than adding extra complexity to it.

If you want to filter out glitches, you can use a template sensor as middleware.
Check the delay_on setting, you can use it to configure how long the vibration sensor needs to be ON before the template sensor goes ON.
Obviously, you should swap the actual vibration sensor with the template sensor in Alarmo, to make it effective.

That is for sure one way to solve it, I was "just" thinking that with thresholds options like that, you could also have the ability to make the siren make a short bip if the sensor was activated to warn intruders that this window is protected.

but template sensors, and some node-red flows with siren bips will do for now. thanks for responding. :)
