Hey Folks,
I get inspired by this post: A decorative cube that controls your home
So I forked it, do some changes and here is it.
This is a SmartSensor MutliSensor stuck to a wooden box. Just need to add stickets now.
The magic is done by the smartapps and allow you to trigger routines when:
You change the orientation of the cube
When it leave or return to it’s home location (with a magnet well positioned to trigger the open/close contact).
SmartApp
Face configuration
This page is auto-refreshed to the (current) will change according to your cube orientation.

Looks awesome! Great job.
Take any pictures while you were building you want to share? Would love to see how you made the wood cube (selfishly as I want to build one now!!)
Got from a wooden puzzle.

Well done. I’d like to share mine as well. I’ll have to try out your modified app.
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.

Hi
I am one week new to smart things so please forgive the basic question. Could you send me a URL (or part #) for the Multi Sensor that can be used for this. I am confused about which one it is ?
thanks

I hope this is one being talked about (this is the newest model).
The most versatile device in the Samsung SmartThings family, this sleek ZigBee device acts as a movement, vibration, orientation and temperature sensor all in one. The SmartThings Multipurpose Sensor ...

I use the Photo Cube . try the craft stores for local ones. Also the Baseball holder looks like it would work well.
