This is a write up of my LocalDeck Deployment which adds 24 buttons with status LED's to a standard (UK) light switch with no permanent wall modifications.
As with all my write ups, It is my hope that I may spark or inspire an idea for others to start their own project. I have had many ideas based upon other peoples projects and can only hope that I can do the same for others.
It works extremely well and if you are looking for a more solid stand for the LocalDeck which is at a higher angle than the stock one and lets you use the rear USB port then getting one of these is a great solution.
Now that the entire premise of the idea was greenlit I moved to modifying the backbox so that it could easily be mounted to a light switch without permanently modifying the original setup. For this I opted to get a faceplate spacer and attach this to the top of the back box.
This required grinding part of the spacer down to get a flat surface then drill some holes in both the spacer and the backbox and use M2 bolts to hold them together. I then drilled a few extra holes through the join and in the backbox for cables to be routed from the switch to the backbox. This is how I will power the setup as I have both live and neutral at the intended switch.
