Pro-tip: buy a scene controller. People love absurd collections of redundant switches and i don’t get it.
I like having local control too. My rule for smart lighting is it should still operate like dumb lighting.
Around here that’s pretty common for sockets in industrial or healthcare settings, there even are some with a dedicated text area.
Yup in my office we label outlets something like A13. Indicating panel A breaker 13. We have endless sub panels so very helpful.
You turn off the circuit breaker? Lol.
Disclaimer: You should turn off the circuit breaker. Do as I say, not as I do.
You mean you can turn them off??
Maybe it’s just my OCD but why is the switch on the left so far forward? Maybe you need to remove some spacers or push the wiring behind it back further so it can be screwed in further? Maybe the photo is just poor timing or maybe you’re just a monster and you like it this way?
The wall box is a three gang box, the one on the left is a pico in an adapter. It stick out more because it’s against the wall, not in the box. The room has five switches total and the pico acts as a master for the whole room.
oh okay that makes sense. I was wondering if there was an easy way to add a fourth switch onto the end of a 3 gang box and this option definitely strikes a good balance between acceptable looks and minimal work required.
You must have a ridiculous sized breaker box to have 66+ circuits.
Pro tip label your panel properly then this isn’t necessary
Yep, I mapped every outlet, switch and fixture then labeled everything for cross referencing at either end of a circuit. Also organized in an Excel spreadsheet in the cloud. I still use a NCV tester when working on anything though.
That is a fugly switch plate.
Oh jeez, did you buy all of those at MSRP?
