Spitballing - there are Bluetooth Accelerometers -

The BT50 claims 50m distance (open) but with a 8 hours battery life, which will shrink with time. You'd need longer battery life I guess?

I think the software would be easy.... if you know what you are doing. That might be the plumber joke of knowing where to whack the pipe. I "feel" like it wouldn't be hard.

[edit] Maybe the (Holyiot) beacon tag, it has longer battery life, need to check the specs how good the accelerometer is - https://aliexpress.com/w/wholesale--beacon-tag--acceleromete...
