Yeep. But everything is piezo is also more or less pyro. So avoiding
heat variation which is increasing the error or it must be
compensated. And will be a voltage variation for an acceleration
variation. Not easy for an accurate measurement.
And good only for great earthquakes where anyway does not care, you'll
don't be allive to monitorise the signal...
