madmartian Posted July 31, 2020 Posted July 31, 2020 I have a specific light switch that is too far from the box for Insteon. I need to replace it with a Z-wave switch. Sadly, all the Z-wave switches appear to be feasting on fried food and ice cream - they are too fat to fit in my work box. Are there any Z-wave toggle dimmers that are no fatter than the Insteon toggle dimmer? GE, Honeywell, Enbrighten, and Zooz all look too fat.

There are micro switches that supposedly fit in behind a regular switch. This is one of them but I have never used any of these.

That's what I'm looking for. I didn't realize they had two versions - one with "quickfit" - and the older fatter one. They have a toggle version as well. https://www.amazon.com/Enbrighten-QuickFit-SimpleWire-Assistant-46204/dp/B08288S9W3/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=ge+"quickfit"+dimmer&qid=1596178658&sr=8-3 Thanks much!

I stand corrected.... I did not know about this option. Hopefully this will work for you.
