Re: how to fit x10 switches in a gangbox

["unfrostedpoptart" <david@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Another thing to watch for: I've put some Switchlincs in 2 & 3
gangboxes, including a three-day ordeal a few weeks ago (three-way
switches are a pain!). In addition to all the comments I've seen,
another warning is that there may be more than one circuit in the box.
I got zapped!  I shut off the breaker for the switch I was replacing,
but I didn't realize that the switch next to it was on a different (and
live) circuit.

All and all it's a real pain trying to shoehorn in the bigger X10
switch, plus dealing with the neutral and ground connections.  At least
my house is almost new and has all the right wires available.  I really
wish that they would make the X10 switches smaller and have the
insertable wire connections like regular switches.  This would save all
the room needed by an extra length of wire and the wire nut.
