The Lutron Aurora comes with a bracket designed to clamp onto a traditional light switch. This helps lock the light switch in the on position to ensure smart lightbulbs are always powered on.

That's all great, but when I moved, my new house had paddle switches and I couldn't attach the Lurton Aurora to the switch as designed.

This adapter bracket allows you to attach the dial anywhere you can install a countersunk screw, specifically the counter sunk screw on an electrical box's gang plate. However, you could use it with an appropriately sized screw to attach a Lutron Aurora to almost anything. This adapter does not lock a paddle switch in the on position. It is only a mounting solution.

If there is interest, I can provide remix with a different hole diameter or possibly a counterbored hole vs countersunk.

The springy arms have enough flex that the slopes on the clips aren't strictly necessary, so you could get away with taller layer heights. The ones in my images were printed with the following settings:

  • 0.16 mm layer height
  • 0.40mm nozzle with 0.45mm line width (with Arachne)
  • 3 walls; this ensures the flexible joints have continuous and converging lines in the bending area
  • 3 bottom layers, 4 top
  • 10-15% infil. There is not much room for infil and it does not play a significant role in the part strength. mostly just there to hold up the top surface
  • PLA, but any springy/rigid filament should do.
  • Printing multiples can help increase layer times on upper layers with short layer times
