Seth,
I have not been able to find a case I was happy offering yet but there are many options out there. You can look at http://www.hammondmfg.com for some options.
Rupp,
Seth is talking about this Mini Motion Detector.

Ah. Thanks Eric
I wrote the plugin. I hope to have the config app done this week, and then I'd be happy to let you try it. It creates HS devices that wrap the 1-wire funtionality. For example, my Garage Door Control HS device consists of one 1-wire input, and one output. It shows the status, and has an Open/Close button. The motion sensor HS device shows motion/no motion, and I'm using events around it to turn lights on/off.
The plugin currently supports the relay boards from Hobby Boards & Midon Design, the 18S20 and 18B20 temp sensors, 2405 and 2406 I/O, such the Hobby Boards mini motion sensor, and the Embedded Data Systems IO boards.
I'm going to be using a lot of relays to control window & skylight shades.

Hi Seth,
When you have it ready, would it be possible for me to try it out too? I've been looking for something just like this to play around with the 1-wire cool stuff hobby-boards has. If I can, I'll be placing an order soon!
If it's cool, please PM me and let me know when it's done. This plugin will be HUGE!
Thanks

Looking forward to the release of your software. I would love to put my mini motion sensor into use.
I'll let you all know when the plugin is ready for testing. It's been running non-stop here for a week or so, monitoring 3 garage doors, driveway sensor, two thermometers and one motion sensor. It uses only TMEX, meaning you simply install the 1-wire drivers, and copy the plugin to the HS folder. No J# redistributable required.
Also, I ordered some boxes from http://electronicsusa.com/productsboxes.html to try for the motion sensor. They are 1"x2" and should be perfect. I'll post photos once things are set up.

New here, 1st post and all that (though I have read every single post in the Hobby-Boards part of the forum)...
You know Krylon not long ago introduced a new paint for plastics called Fusion. It supposedly "bonds" to the plastic. If it were me (and it will be soon) that's what I'd try.

If the box is just going to be mounted up on the wall somewhere where people can't get a real good look at it, just scuff the surface and paint it with the same color latex wall paint. It'll stick to the plastic good enough. Its not like the box is going to be out in the weather or constantly handled. I've done doorbell covers, smokes, plastic wiremold, wall plates, etc. like this.
Not sure of the size of the motion sensor dome, but it might fit in a telephone wallplate. This is a plate with a single round hole in the center. The holes come in a couple of different sizes. You can find them online or at your local finely stocked big box store. You could also take a blank plate and drill it. A dab of Liquid Nails will work to mount circuit boards to wallplates. Of course this would require cutting in for an old work box and fishing wire to it.
