I think the lack of microcontroller in switch plate is part of Andy, the
ma=
nufacturer/modifier's philosophy of Keep It Simple - it does mean there is
=
less to go wrong but imposes a few limitations - maximum of 3 buttons+led
p=
er panel.

I emailed him and he says he fits the LEDs with a 4.7k resister by
default,=
so they work with a 24v supply.
