Happy wife - Happy life 
If it is drowning the batteries too much then it does not make sense of course … and waking up the device every 10 minutes is also not the way how the “wake up” was intended to be used 
As my old sensor broke I need to replace it and chose this one hoping that besides the display showing the temperature I could find a way to exploit the min and max settings …
Not really 
I’m happy to remove them - my preference is to avoid having channels that don’t do anything as they raise questions (like this) and add confusion (and rightly so!).
I have a new feature in the database to allow me to mark channels as “deprecated” so that people know they will be removed in future. I will do that to these channels.
They should be removed, or Everspring have some explanation to do. They´re not mentioned in the manual either.

Great idea…
I just notice that some of my devices has changed channels in the 2.5 zwave binding… But the Vision motion sensor still got binary as well as an alarm_buglar channel. The alarm_buglar channel does seem to do anything though…
I guess the binary should be changed to an Alarm, and the Alarm_buglar channel should be deleted.
The same goes for my Neo CoolCam sensor… It still has an temperature channel, but it´s not working, cause the device does not have a temperature sensor… This is a bit more tricky, since there are two different devices called Neo CoolCam. And one of them do have the temperature sensor. The one I have does not.
Ok, here is an update of my recent observation.
These are my items:
Number ZwaveESHumi "Humidity [%.0f]" (gZwave) {channel="zwave:device:zwave_id:node4:sensor_relhumidity"}
Number ZwaveESTemp "Temperature [%.1f]" (gZwave) {channel="zwave:device:zwave_id:node4:sensor_temperature"}
Number ZwaveESBatt "Battery Level [%d]" (gZwave) {channel="zwave:device:zwave_id:node4:battery-level"}
String ZwaveESTrig "Min/Max Trigger [%s]" (gZwave) {channel="zwave:device:zwave_id:node4:binary_sensor"}
String ZwaveESStat "Sensor status [%s]" (gZwave)

The state of ZwaveESTrig is NULL since I created it …
It was never updated even though I passed the thresholds in both directions???
Is the channel definition probably wrong? Must it be Switch type instead of String type?
String ZwaveESTrig "Min/Max Trigger [%s]" (gZwave) {channel="zwave:device:zwave_id:node4:binary_sensor"}
I try Switch …
It needs to be a Switch.
If it still doesn’t work, you may need to provide a debug log so we can see if the device is sending anything when the threshold is reached.
Thanks! Already thought so … will try …is sensor_binary the right syntax as “things show …” says switch_binary ???

Should be this.
And you should trigger your rule on
Item X received command ON
and
Item X received command OFF
Hmm. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a channel named like that.
In the database it just shows switch_binary.
It seems that both versions work 
When changing the channel in the items file to either basic_switch_binary or switch_binary gives the same output for Linked items in Paper UI:
When changing to channel to something else like binary_sensor it does link it via Paper UI …
I leave it to switch_binary …
What is also unclear to me is, when I set the MAX temperature trigger to 23 will it fire when the current temperature changes from
Any idea?
I can only guess, and my guess would be #1 only.
I’ll let you know as soon as I found out 
Nothing happened when temperature passed 23.0 °C not even when passing 24.0 °C (took it under my shirt …)
Try cooling it down. Maybe we have min and max mixed up.
Put it on the balcony
SORRY - I NEED TO CORRECT !!!
I changed MIN to 20 and MAX to 22
It went “OFF” dropping below 20 …
Now getting it back into the living room … temperature rising again …
It turned “ON” when passing the 20 …
Excellent. That’s the behavior we want, right?
