Am I the last one to know about this?

Some of these pics of the Festavia seem to be out of whack. Like no way is that space 18-feet wide.

Is there a tool to read the singal from the hub and the range extender and a lamp module set up as a repeater?

I just got a Caseta Smart Wireless Repeater/Range Extender. Using the lamp module was not ideal due to limited placement location options. The outlet above the microwave turned out to be the perfect spot for the range extender even if it was wired with a simplex outlet. And I'm finding that the range extender works way better than the lamp module. Now to set up one of the lamp modules out in the shop as a range extender for another 30 feet.

I'm searching for a rocker light switch guard for a Lutron Caséta PD-6ANS that works with the Lutron hidden fastener wall plate. This one with it's little magnets combined with the tiny screws being behind the plastic plate isn't very firm.

I'm surprised that no one on Etsy makes one that utilizes the tiny reveal between the back plate and front plate... something that would snap on from top to bottom.

This was 4+ hours of work...NOT including the wiring, just getting the switches shimmed out and lined up. This jacked up gang box almost killed me! It was so far back in there and one end was back further than the other end... ugh...! I think the white hidden fastener plate looks way way better than the matching mirror plate with all of those crazy screws!

Man I love these Leviton T6525 outlets with the little built in LED light. I'm not an electrician, but I was switching out, no pun intended, a few old 1979 receptacles for these Leviton receptacles... using my little test lamp and flipping breakers until the light goes out, then I'd pull out the old one. I was today years old when I learned that just because the lamp turns off that doesn't mean all the wires are de-energized. One receptacle had two white (neutrals), a red (hot) and a black (hot). When the breaker is off one of the two neutrals is shockingly HOT. If you disconnect these two neutrals from the receptacle the ceiling fan no longer works! When these two neutrals are connected to the new receptacle, everything checks out... all receptacles test out good, and the ceiling fan works. Note, that the ceiling fan in on a three-way that has been disconnected in favor of a sigle-pole switch at the far end.

Didn't the Pico PJ2-2B-G(color code)-L01 once come in more colors? I kinda need a couple red ones.

The Lutron Caseta PD-6WCL on the right failed this morning. I opened the box and was Irritated to discover that the electrician had not connect the ground wires upon installation. Grrrr... what'd he save... 5 seconds and the cost of a wire nut? I'm not sure why this dimmer switch failed but still... aggravating when you pay good money for help with installation.

I want to replace these two paddle switches with a couple Lutron Caseta PD-6ANS switches. Even before taking the cover off I knew those inset corners were going to be trouble but this is whack. Ugh... a 15 minute project turning in to hours.
