The wall boxes in my house are too shallow, and the screw posts inside the back box protrude into the space occupied by smart switches. I wasn’t comfortable modifying the housing of the smart switch or forcing the wiring into the limited space behind them.
Instead, I went with the idea of mounting scene switches over dumb wall switches, and replacing all bulbs to smart bulbs, along with installing relays to the ceiling fans.
I designed this 86-type switch cover that attaches to a standard wall switch faceplate and allows a Moes Star Ring Scene Switch to snap securely into place. It may also be compatible with other scene switches that use the standard 86-type mounting hole spacing.
The cover still provides easy access to the original rocker switch underneath whenever you need to cut power when replacing a light bulb.
You may need to adjust:
Wall switch faceplate depth (Parameter: depth — default 9mm)
Rocker switch depth (Parameter: depth_switch — default 4mm)
Scene switch screw hole depth, if you are mounting different scene switches. (Parameter: depth_scene_switch — default 4mm)
Assembly:
Print the cover and the screw-insert hooks. (Print the cover face-down)
Attach the cover to the existing switch faceplate using double-sided tape.
Install the screw-insert hooks.
Place the scene switch onto the cover and slide it downward until it snaps into the hooks.
