And I don't know what, in several centimeters down. There is a trio, a three-gang set of switches, and this one is in the middle, and it is not a great picture, but you can see that there are seven LEDs on the left-hand side of the middle switch.

Going from the bottom, the bottom one is currently illuminated red, then it skips one. Then the next one is illuminated white, then it skips one, and the top one is illuminated blue. It looks much better in person than this picture would lead you to believe. I hope so. Because it doesn't look stellar here. But it does work. And so there's a few different issues here. First of all, I installed it.

What did you call it? Stake driving or whatever? I installed it on the Sly last night. And... Aaron got home and we chatted for a little bit before we went up to bed. And I conspicuously and conveniently stood in front of the light switch while this was going on because the white switch or the white LED was illuminated.

The thing of it was I wanted her to notice it organically. And I prefer that she notice it when the lights were not illuminated. So sometime the next morning. Because I wanted to see what she would say and what she would do. And coincidentally, I sent an email to Chris R. about this. And I said, oh, you know, I installed this while she was gone.

And I'm expecting her to give me a huge, you know, WTF when she finally realizes it. To which Chris replied, which was so great. He said, that's great. I hope the commission accepts the fact that it was already installed as enough of a hassle to not require removal for lack of proper permits ahead of time. Which is very well put.

So this morning, I forget when it was this morning, but it was not very long after getting downstairs. Perhaps, maybe it was when I was gone at Wegmans studying up for the episode today. It doesn't matter when, but at some point, I'd come in or come downstairs or whatever, and the kids were like, oh, dad, mm-mm. Yeah.

And I look up at Erin and she's pointing at the, she's pointing at the, uh, the light switch saying, what is this? And the funny thing is there's so much more to the story that I haven't told her or you guys. Uh, so you didn't pick up on the important phrase that I mentioned when I read this earlier, I will repeat myself. Home seer HS hyphen WD 200 plus Z wave. plus scene-capable RGB wall dimmer.

I don't have any Z-Wave devices until just now. And let me tell you, if you want to think about what it would be like for the most nerdy nerd to design a home automation or smart home kind of thing, let me tell you all the good news about Z-Wave. It is so user-hostile and

so awful to interact with so what i had to do was i knew that chris was kind enough to send this to me and genuinely leaving aside aaron's opinion which i'll come back to in a minute genuinely i think this is the right solution to my problem because i have up to seven leds that i can use they're super easy to control within home assistant once you get everything wired up which we'll talk about here in just a second um

but they're super easy to control it works really well it's a pretty good dimmer the button feels pretty great and pretty decent i wouldn't say it's great but it's decent and so on the surface this is a win-win-win you know it's not as not as much of an eyesore as my you know three leds popping through a wall plate would have been you know in a lot of ways i think this is the right answer um if it remains which is yet to be seen but um but narrator it will not remain but

to get this all to work not now i have z-wave in my world and let me assure you everyone you do not want z-wave in your world if you can help it because what i had to do was i needed to get like a 30 dongle which i will try to remember to put in the show notes um a $30 dongle that will allow you to communicate via Z-Wave. And so this is a USB-A dongle.
