I love your smart switches and modules but you are missing out on a key market.


I am writing to urge you to address a massive, underserved gap in the smart home lighting market: a true, shallow-depth Wi-Fi Toggle Switch that installs flush with standard and custom multi-gang toggle faceplates.

Currently, nearly every major manufacturer has abandoned the traditional peg-style toggle in favor of wide, flat Decora rocker paddles for their Wi-Fi lines. The few toggle options that do exist (such as MOES or other Tuya-based white-label clones) suffer from significant design flaws:

  1. Excessive Depth: The rear housings are far too deep (often 1.3 to 1.5 inches). In packed, multi-gang electrical boxes where there is zero room to tuck a relay module, these bulky units cannot sit flush.
  2. Poor Outer Dimensions: The mounting straps and plastic casings are too thick, causing the switch to stick out noticeably past traditional custom faceplates.

Discontinued brands like EVALOGIK previously proved that a slim, ~1.18-inch deep Wi-Fi toggle profile is entirely possible. Millions of homes feature historic layouts or expensive, custom multi-switch toggle plates that homeowners refuse to rip out or replace with modern paddles. Forcing users to either adopt an intrusive external hub (for Z-Wave/Zigbee) or tolerate an ugly, protruding switch is a massive oversight.

Please consider developing a standalone, hubless 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi (or Matter-over-Wi-Fi) toggle switch built with a slim, flush-mounting form factor. There is a dedicated community of homeowners and independent installers ready to buy them.
