This is the D7S Seismic Earthquake Sensor. D7S sensor uses 3-AXIS acceleration sensor developed by OMRON’s unique SI (Spectral Intensity) value calculation algorithm which it has a high correlation with SIS Seismic Intensity Scale that indicates the magnitude of an earthquake that provides higher precision of seismic intensity. This sensor has two opendrain output in pin INT1 and INT2 that turns active into LOW when it’s off condition and collapse detection condition when detected at intensity 5 or higher, the INT2 goes active LOW during earthquake calculation for offset acquisition and self-diagnostic handling. This device use i2C for communication with the sensor for settings and tracking down earthquake related information. The sensor is useful on fire prevention, secondary disaster after an earthquake hits.

I just wired my D7S completely wrong because your wiring diagaram neither shows pin numbers nor does it state that the wiring diagram is showing the sensor from the bottom side! Fortunately the sensor is still working after wiring it correctly.
You also have to connect VCC pin9 to 3.3V or 5V. So both GND on pins 6 and 10 and both VCC on pins 1 and 9 should be used and not be left hanging. Otherwise I2C is not working. Took me a while to get it.
My sensor is not working although I have connected the same to the scheme? Can you give me a solution?
Connect pin 1 and 9 to vcc…
Can I use the D7S seismic sensor with esp 32 thank you for your help?
Just use my previous library which is i posted, see below link.
