Hi Guys!

My Mom was released from the skilled nursing facility on Saturday.  She is doing much better.  

To make things a little easier, I'm setting some of her lights in the house on these wireless hub controlled switches.  For the light in her bedroom I needed to make the existing ceiling electrical box into a receptacle so I can plug this controller in so the light would be able to be controlled using the mobile app on her phone.  That way during the night she can turn the light on and off from her bed.

Thinking I could buy a round wall plate from Home Depot, I searched the entire selection they had just to finally be told they didn't carry them.  Luckily a quick search on Thingiverse turned up exactly what I needed.  You can find the file here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1572991

I'm sure I could have ordered one online, but it would have taken much more than 3 hours to get it.  LOL!!!  It was a little off, but a little grinding make fit good enough for me.

Thank you very much for watching!!!
