Got the idea from this thread about the mood cube.
I built a wooden cube that has a sensor inside that talks to the Mood Cube SmartApp to control my Hue bulbs. Each face has a colored wooden inlay (held in place by magnets) that tells you which color scene will be activated. Hidden behind two of the circles is the bolt that holds the cube together. It can be easily disassembled when I need to replace the batteries.
Here’s a video:

Just thought I’d share. I can post photos of the build process if anyone is interested.
EDIT: Added some photos of the process since a couple folks asked. Enjoy!
The building blocks. I bought these online somewhere.

Glue and clamp. Each half (4 little cubes) were done separately.

Drill a hole for the Multi S…
Decided I would like a more direct way of dimming a lamp in my living room than having to pull out my phone all the time.
Didn’t get a picture of the inside but embedded a multisensor inside.

This is awesome! I would love to mod this to be colors. I’m thinking about adding some color changing bulbs to our kitchen for accent lighting bouncing off the ceiling. A color cube would be a hit!
Would love to see someone come up with a 3d printed cube that could house the sensor. That might be cool as well.

Thanks. I got so excited about it I skipped right over that! (It’s a Monday, so this is excitement for the day!)
