As I think I'd said to you last time, like there's – and I don't want to share this photo publicly, but in our Slack I shared with the boys. There's an empty outlet like almost at eye level right in the kitchen, right where we pass by all the time, and it would have been a perfect spot for it. And the Historical Commission has informed me this is not going to be passing. My –

Well, I just installed that blank. What was there until literally a week or two ago, which kind of what started this whole process, was that used to be an RJ-11 jack, a telephone jack, right there. Oh, there you go. That makes sense. And, you know, the house was built in the late 90s, and so you want the kitchen phone. And that was, I mean, you can't see you guys.

Well, none of the listeners can see this photo, and I apologize. But the boys were looking at the photo, and behind me, as I took the pictures, like the kitchen and the kitchen table and whatnot. But it's the perfect spot for this, like, notification system. Unfortunately, the Historical Commission has denied my application, and my building permit has been denied with... With prejudice.

With prejudice. That's what I was looking for. Thank you. That being said, right near this outlet, or this former RJ11 outlet, is a three-gang set of traditional light switches. And one of them is the kitchen, one of them is the kitchen table, and one of them is the hallway.

And a couple of people wrote in, Drew Stevens in particular wrote in and said, what about a HomeSeer, H-O-M-E-S-E-E-R, HSWX300? All these names just roll right off the tongue.

Right, exactly.

Right, exactly.

It does, that's true. So this is a paddle or decorous style switch that has individually addressable LEDs on the side of it. You can even change the colors of them. This looks freaking perfect for what I want. And what I can do hypothetically is I can replace one of the three switches in this three gang box that actually do things.

I can replace one of those switches, specifically the kitchen table switch, which not only is in the center of this three gang box, which obviously I can move it, but also is a single switch rather than part of a multi-switch setup, a three-way setup or what have you. Anyways, I could replace the kitchen table switch with one of these and it would be perfect.
