ZEN73 LED 4-Color Indicator: Drill Hole in Wall Plate So It Can Be Seen?

A resounding success!

Thanks so much for the light pipe idea.

It's almost too bright, even set at the lowest intensity, 30%.
I took a picture, but I'm not good with a camera.

The four colors really popped too: white, blue, green, red.

I drilled the wall plate from behind, and there was some spalling of the plastic.

I think if I made a template, maybe from a reversed wall plate, so the the raised short screws sit in the plate sunken holes, as a locator, I could drill from the front, avoiding the spalling and disassembly with the special triangle bit, small springs, etc. You'd get a tiny amount of plastic shavings inside, but I don't think that would factor in anything bad.

It could potentially take 5 minutes.

I haven't super glued it to the wall plate-I think that could be optional.

It's easily reversed: just put on a new plates.
Plus, wall plates are cheap.

I might do all my switches that I use the light, or potentially all (~40 at this point) of them!

PS: The reason Zooz specify short plate screws is the design of the grounding terminal.

edit: It's exciting. Rarely do things work out right off the bat for me. I'm still waiting for the other shoe to drop, lol.
