I wanted to be able to control my desk light via Home Assistant and with the touch button.

This allows both to be used and ensure that you don't get into a situation where you can't turn on the light because a smart plug is off or vice versa.

Model is printed with no supports, but be sure to use enough top layers,  The top is done by bridging, but the bottom of the bridged sections are on the interior of the part.  It is OK if they are not perfect.  After printing the base, fill it with BBs or similar weight.  Glue the plug in place to seal the weights in.  Install as shown in the photos.   

 

I found that the stock AC/DC converter wall wart was not sufficient for the light and the WIFI module.  I replaced it with a higher ampacity version of the same voltage.

 

Note: This design works fine, but if I were to make it again, I would put the plug opening on the other side of the part (against the bed while printing) This would avoid some troublesome bridging situations.  (this caused some unsupported overhangs that are on the interior of the part that cause no visual or function problems on the final part)
