In Unity on Android, how can I rotate an object with the accelerometer?

Question

I'm making a game where you control a platform with balls falling on it, and you have to balance the balls and prevent them from falling off. I'm currently using a mouse to control it with this code:

transform.rotation.eulerAngles.z += Input.GetAxisRaw("Mouse X");
transform.rotation.eulerAngles.x += Input.GetAxisRaw("Mouse Y");

I'm trying to make this an Android app, and want to use motion controls so I can tilt the device, as if it were the platform. I figured I would use the accelerometer for this.

Any ideas on how to do this in Unity?

Update: As @Philipp mentioned in the comments section, Input.gyro is most likely what you are looking for. But this is a gyroscope if you are looking to use accelerometer then the answer is below. Accelerometer can also be used to determine rotation according to this: https://stackoverflow.com/a/5670134/6603717 .

Input.gyro

public class AccelerometerRotation : MonoBehaviour
{
    [SerializeField] private float _speed = 5f;

    private void Update()
    {
        Vector3 accRotation = new Vector3 (Input.acceleration.x, 0.0f, Input.acceleration.y);
        this.transform.Rotate(accRotation * this._speed * Time.deltaTime);
    }
}

Input.acceleration

Transform.Rotate
