Jon SullivanHere's an old light switch that's in the basement of a house across the street from us. It works like any light switch. Click it one way and it’s dark. Click it the other way and the light's on.Notice anything odd about it?(Does anyone know why it would be this way? It's cast metal so it's seems like an unlikely mistake.)<a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/LightSwitch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LightSwitch</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/Strange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Strange</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/Odd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Odd</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/mystery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mystery</a>

PerryHoping someone out there can offer the advice I need to solve some of my light fittings 😅I’ve got a few of the <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/aqara" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#aqara</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/zigbee" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#zigbee</a> light switches around, but have a few points that are like these brown switch panel on rough brick. I’m not sure how I’m going to get a switch to sit on that as they’re 2-3 gang vertically, are smaller, and it seems as though the brick was cut to fit them.The Aqara switches are larger and wouldn’t fit.. so is there some custom mould I could put there to raise the switches from the wall?<a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/lightswitch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lightswitch</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/lightfixture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lightfixture</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/selfhosted" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#selfhosted</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/zigbee2mqtt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#zigbee2mqtt</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/smarthome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#smarthome</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/smartlight" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#smartlight</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/smartswitch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#smartswitch</a>

David HembrowHere's a plank of wood with three old light switches on it, a battery pack and a few LEDs.Who would want such a thing ? Our ~18 month old grandson. He's fascinated with switching the lights on and off so I made this as a Christmas present so that he could safely flick switches as much as he likes and watch the lights go on and off.It got dropped and one of the light switch covers broke (bakelite-like plastics aren't great with impacts) so I just repaired it with a new (old) switch cover. <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/lightswitch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lightswitch</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/unusualtoy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#unusualtoy</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/startthemearlywithelectronics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#startthemearlywithelectronics</a>
