Description
This adapter allows your Phillips Hue Dimmer switch (2nd generation model with Power / Hue buttons) to fit on top of a TRIPLE (3x) Decora light switch.
This provides an ideal solution from a UX standpoint as the original light switch is not visible to the user, so they won't hit the hardwire switches, but they are still easily accessible if needed by simply removing the Dimmer.
Print it upright, no supports (you may need to tune your bridging, but it still works fine if there's slight sag).
Use it with 15mm x 2mm neodynium magnets. The 2nd generation dimmer has magnets in the back in a specific arrangement. Make sure you orient your magnets in the back of this adapter to match them!
For mounting to the light switch I use two, small 3M command strips (poster size). I cut off the little bit at the square end with no adhesive, cut them each in half vertically, and put one in each corner.
If you want filler plates for unused light switches, see this model:
