Keep us posted. I'll prob change all switches once I see one that will look nice and do what I want!

Hi,

Just an update on my own place, I put in Broadlink TC2 Smart Switches with a Broadlink RM Pro hub, and Broadlink alarm system (to control the motion/door sensors).

It is fantastic and reasonably cheap to get up and running - neutrals not required also.

Did you replace your current switches or install new. Just looking at the depth of the units - do they fit a standard back box?
