Not to mention the HSM arm/disarm, weather tiles and widgets at the top.
What is that interface?
Contact sensors are good for a lot of things. I use them to monitor temperatures in refrigerators, freezers. well houses, attics and more. They can notify you when someone has opened a safe or liquor cabinet, or not completely closed a freezer of refrigerator and more. Your imagination is the only limit.

I went on Amazon and typed IRIS v1 sensor and get these:
https://www.amazon.com/s?k=iris+v1+sensor&ref=nb_sb_noss
None of those say IRIS though....who makes it?
Multiple systems combined. I’m using HE, Home Assistant, Homekit, Blue Iris, Node Red, InfluxDB and Grafana.
Home Assistant.
No, If you want Iris V1 sensors, I can hook you up with a guy. If you don't want to solder and use your current hardwired sensors, search for a contact with screw terminals. Someone will chime in with who makes them.
Edit: Aeotec

Lowe's shut down Iris last March. You can still get the sensors on eBay though.
The guy Otto mentioned has hundreds of V1 sensors.

Aeotec makes the sensor with screw terminals.

OH wow...that's NICE!
i found these before you sent that and was going to ask you if this is what you meant...
That is them. These will be good for connecting your wired sensors to HE, Now if you need a bunch of inexpensive Iris V1 sensors for refrigerators, cabinets or temperatures somewhere let me know.

Ok you gotta tell me how you setup that 2nd screen shot. I just applied one, it looks ok, yours is just freaking great. I love the lamps and breakdown by room!
Thanks, smartly has made it much easier to make cool dashes.
Those are "text" items
Then everything is moved to the next row to give the appearance of a "header".
On this dash I made all the device templates transparent, so the "buttons" are not visible when the device is off. When the device is on the device "button" is visible by 10%, and the icon is yellow.
The background is for a not yet completed skin by @spelcheck, the mastermind behind smartly. If you want a link (after checking with him) I'll send you a PM with it.

@Vettester Those are both AWESOME!! In my short 2 week try with Home Assistant, they had something like your 2nd picture for devices that I loved but have no idea how to recreate w/ HE & NR. Could you send me in the right direction with the Grafana for both NR Dashboard items without derailing this thread too much please?
I wouldn't worry about that, this thread has long been derailed.

Neither of those are NR Dashboards. They were both Grafana dashboards. The 3rd screenshot I posted is HA. For the Grafana dashboards I have InfluxDB and Grafana installed on a RPi and am using InfluxDB Logger Info to export HE data into the database.
Here's the link for the InfluxDB Logger app:

This is so cool! Well done @bjcowles. @Otto_Mation!
Would you mind posting the size/layout details and sample CSS (if any)?
