Did you like the design? Did it save you some time? Maybe think about giving me a tip:

I was looking for a zigbee sensor I could use outdoors but every one I have tried, it has either been killed by the rain or the battery dies due to the cold. So I thought I would prevent that (hopefully) from the start with a case (will report if one of the sensors dies). 

I created 2 versions as I was given suggestions to give people options

Instructions - V1:

  • Use a screw through the case to attach to a wooden gate.
  • Add a M3 Heat insert (~4mm width), M3 Screw from the back/front. Zip tie to the post (like in the photo).

Instructions - V2:

  • Use a screw through the case to attach to a wooden gate.
  • M3 Nut at the back, M3 20mm through front to secure the case. Zip tie to the post (like in photo)

I noticed while testing the sensor, it can detect further away based upon orientation of both the sensor & the magnet so I designed the case so you can rotate and experiment based upon what you need it for.
