Accelerometers measure acceleration. It's not the same as an inclinometer. You may be able to approximate tilt for your application from a single accelerometer but to eliminate false indications you would need two.

If you do use an accelerometer, keep in mind that one will not read zero in the vertical plane unless it's in freefall. If it's at rest it will give the reading of gravity (9.8m/Sec^2 )

There are tilt sensors but I have never used them. I can't say if intertia would cause problems with the reading.

There are also gyroscope/accelerometer units that aren't very pricey. If you're going to use something like an Arduino or Raspberry Pi, this would be my choice.
