What physical control switches are people using in the UK or do you prefer touch screens for anything clever?
I have micro modules mounted behind regular light switches for the most part. I'm not a fan of many of the non-latching switch plates that are generally available so made a few custom button panels using blanking plates and push buttons.
These aren't terribly aesthetic but do the job (see below for an example).
NB: In the photo, there are metal parts of the crimp exposed. These were re-terminated with additional heatshrink before installation.
The size and amount of wire in the backboxes also limits what's possible.
The grid system switches seem quite good and offer flexibility for future changes.
Some of the glass-faced switch plates also seem quite nice but tend to require most of the space in the back-box, meaning a micro module would need to be housed in a second, adjacent box or inside the wall.
It would be great to see any examples of what other people are doing.....
