<pre class="k9mail">Hi Phil,<br><br>Look at the offerings by Sequent Microsystems. They can be operated by a Pi. So you can roll your own bluetooth/wifi/etc. solution. Yes, they have DIN rail mounts available. <a href="https://sequentmicrosystems.com/collections/all-io-cards">https://sequentmicrosystems.com/collections/all-io-cards</a><br><br>Also, there are many switches, such as were used in pinball machines, that can activate with the type of shock you're describing.
