I would do two gang for everything and then a single gang mud ring for those that you only need the single gang. That was you can more easily expand if needed.
With a two gang mud ring, current Inovelli switches and dimmers are incompatible side-by-side. I assume it will be the same for these.
The bigger issue is that I’ll be finishing before the devices are available and don’t want to be redoing drywall after finding out I need to switch some one-gang boxes to two-gang. That would still apply if I need to switch mud rings.
Oh right, I believe I was the one who actually discovered that. I used a file and just took a millimeter off the mud ring, and then they fit. Not an ideal solution, but something to consider.
Hello,
I preordered this several years ago, are those preorders still being tracked?

We’ve applied an update on the hardware for this one (and the mmWave switch) that should help with the incompatibility with mud-rings. We’ve rounded off the corners a bit and also made the sides a little more flush (the metal plating). It fit on the mudring I bought from Lowes, but it really comes down to how many wires you have in the back of the box and how much room you have.
We even off-centered the ground-screw for the Canadian gang-boxes that were interfering.
So, while I can’t promise it will fit in all scenarios, we did make some adjustments!
Yes, we have those order numbers still. If you want to shoot @Kaleb_Inovelli a message, he can check your order number!
Any updates? For how delayed this project is, I would hope for updates more than once a quarter - if even that. 
Probably best to keep an eye on the zigbee version as both of these threads may not get updated at the same time.

There is no update this week, however, we should be receiving feedback on the tooling that finishes on the 30th.

Any updates on the tooling? Hopefully it has been greenlit!
Any update on if the tooling went well? Been waiting on these for a while but might end up having to go with a alternative.

As far as I’m aware, they are still working out some issues with the engraving on the paddles and how the light comes through. Its bright in some areas and dim in others, so they are still messing around with that last I heard - which was on the 18th of December.

Project Update
Highlights
- Button samples with transparent materials are now the top priority.
- A laser for engraving has been identified and tested with existing paddles.
- Tooling for buttons is reportedly “getting very close to success.”
Risks/Blockers
- Button processing is complex, and tooling issues have caused delays.
- Current button tooling has dimensional issues: three buttons are 0.15mm larger than standard, causing crowding and loss of pressure after coating for backlit testing.
- Backlight transparency is a critical concern that needs to be tested as early as possible.
Timeline
- January 18th: Tooling company expects to complete fixes for button size issues.
- January 30th: Samples with more transparent materials, including painting and engraving processes, are expected to be completed.
Decisions
- The button controller has been designated as the #1 priority now that mmWave has completed.
Action Items
- Determine if backlight testing can proceed now with improved transparency, or if it must wait for the new tooling.
- Test the identified laser on the button controller once the official paddle is available.
- Provide a finding report once button samples are completed.
- Clarify plans for laser engraving content customization for future products.
