One of the nice features this sensor has is the ability to wire an external reed switch to the sensor…just thinking out loud, I’m wondering if there is a way you could place the sensor in something to keep it warm without hampering the radio signal - allowing you to get use during those cold Chicago winters.
Give me a day or so to get home and I’ll get you my code…pretty simple stuff.
Let me know if you have any other questions.

I bought the sensor from Amazon today. Here’s what I did with the garage tilt sensor and it still goes out if the temp is below 20 degrees.

Hey KidSquid,
I’m getting the sensor today and it’s actually going to be 45 here in Chicago so I should be able to mount it. Could you please post your items and rules for this device?
Sorry for the delay on this…I got caught up in the XMAS stuff and other obligations.
Items:
Contact Mailbox "The Mailbox Is: [%s]" { channel="zwave:device:xxxxxxx:node30:sensor_door" }
Switch MailboxProxy "Mail is [%s]"
Rules:
rule "Mail Delivery"
when
Item Mailbox changed from CLOSED to OPEN
then
say("The Mail Has Been Delivered")
MailboxProxy.postUpdate(ON)
sendTelegram("xxxxxx", "The Mail Has Been Delivered")
end
rule "Reset Mailbox Proxy"
when
Time cron "0 0 0 1/1 * ? *"or
Time cron "0 0 10 * * ? *"
then
MailboxProxy.postUpdate(OFF)
end
Let me know if you have any questions - again sorry for the slow response.
After a long holiday of lurking, here is my progress so far. I’ve found some of your examples ridiculously helpful so thought I would share my efforts. The layout is designed for a Kindle fire HD8 which was just big enough.
I’ve been playing around with putting a TV remote and lighting control for the living room on a touchscreen. Right now it’s scaled to my laptop, but I need to resize it for a smaller tablet.

Nice one, glad you like it!
Here is the JSON and the rules files. Most of my icons have been from flaticon.com, they are all free and download in svg so it’s a great resource.
Really awesome HABpanels in this thread. I get so inspired!
Good job everyone!
Couple of months back I got a cheap iPad 3 and was very excited to create my first HABpanel. Although, my automation is doing fine on it’s own but for guests and sometimes my wife, a controlpanel would be nice.
But I’m really not fond of the iPad, as far as my tests goes, getting a camera or a grafana graph to be displayed in HABpanel is not possible?!
So I gave up and didn’t continue creating a HABpanel layout.
Is there another tablet you guys would recommend (not to expensive) that does the job?
I have a small design problem with HABpanel. My design fits well with 1280x800 tablet (full screen) but when I open it on random computer sometimes I get scrollbars as the menu and other window elements do not provide enough free height. Is there a CSS hack so the whole panel will be restricted to the available height? Probably add padding on the left side so it will keep the available space proportional? If i resize the browser window horizontally I get the desired proportions but I do not want to do it manually all the time.
