Posted July 31, 20205 yr 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. Edited July 31, 20205 yr by asbril

Thanks, but that's not what I'm looking for. I am replacing an Insteon switch with a Z-wave switch. I just need one that fits in the work box.

I dont know of any slim zwave switch. Maybe you should not discard the Zwave option that I suggested unless someone else has a better option..
July 31, 20205 yr Here are the thinnest ones I have found. https://byjasco.com/ge-branded-enbrighten-z-wave-in-wall-white-smart-dimmer-with-quickfittm-and-simplewiretm In most of my installs, I have removed several inches of wire to accommodate the zwave switch.

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.
