I’d love a nice looking table top case so I can turn a smart paddle or button switch into a table top controller and not look like a junction box with a faceplate. My inspiration is an old Insteon enclosure which does just that, [2025-05-08 01.12.52] So I’m designing my own version in Fusion, he…

Inovelli does not have anything that is wireless. Are you envisioning this for a wired device?

Wired devices, this is to make a wired desktop controller out of any of the devices you’d normally put in a switchbox. Also don’t be thrown by WIP picture not having sides, I’ll add those after I deal with the internal mounting structure.

It looks like you are trying to make something like this? Desktop Mounting Box - FSR, Inc. - AV Connectivity Solutions I’d look around and see if they provide a spec on internal dimensions and such so that yours is compatible with as many different sized 1 gang devices as possible.

Kind of, but prettier. The Insteon and my design won’t use a traditional front wall plate and can have curved surfaces so they don’t look quite so boxy. The space inside the box isn’t likely to be a big issue as long as I don’t make it too shallow, that’s why I used a GFCI outlet model as a stand-…

With a street price of $109 for that FSR box, I think that I’ll wait for the .STL file to 3D print my own… https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1551971-REG/fsr_dskb_1g_wht_1_gang_desktop_mounting_box.html

Agreed on the price, but I think it’s a matter of looks as well. Do you really want the FSR box on your nightstand?

100% agree on the price. Looks are rather personal :slight_smile: I like the FSR box aesthetic more than the Insteon one.

The Insteon one is a bit dated and puffy looking. I’m not a design genius by any means, but I’ll try to do something clean and minimal with no visible screws on the top and just a little softening on the edges.

No, because I don’t want any control box on my nightstand. Siri on my Apple Watch can do everything that I would ever need to do from the bedroom. However, I do use a gray plastic electrical box with a lamp cord on it to provision and test all of my switches. Having an angled box to do that would…

I was looking for something like this a while ago. Came across the FSR one and decided not to with the price. Also looking forward to stl file to print one. :slight_smile:
