Well that’s a shame. I ordered one of the Sonoff switches since it sounded like they would fit in a Decora faceplate. Nope. The faceplate is integral with the buttons. So it will fit a US single-gang box, but you’re stuck with _their_ faceplate

You can see how the faceplate actually connects to the main body

Hrm, _possibly_ the actual faceplate might be removable ? But no, it isn’t, and there are no holes for attaching a real Decora faceplate.

Dammit.

I built a Homey-backup tool that might come in handy for people resetting their devices etc.

> \# Homey Backup & Restore Tools A set of Python scripts to \*\*back up\*\*, \*\*restore\*\*, and \*\*visualise\*\* devices, flows, zones, and variables from a Homey Pro instance via its local REST API. No cloud, no MCP, no add-ons required.

I mainly wanted a backup of the devices and flows, along with a rendering of the flows. Then it just kind of … grew.
