Smart switches stupid design

[bojanlora]

Anyone else hates fumbling in darkness with these switches? Like a tiny light behind the panel would go so far in ergonomics.

I’m thinking of dabbing a dot of clear silicone on the two bath light buttons that’s way we can feel them.

Anyone done anything like that?

I agree, a back light would of been nice. we have a night light in the bathroom.

There are other threads about this issue. There are switches available from Firefly with backlight but I don’t know the cost. We simply got the adhesive rubber bumpers for cabinet doors and put one on the primary light for each switch plate. Go into bathroom, feel the rubber bumper and know that is the bathroom light and not the bedroom light. Works great and we have not had any issue since. Simple inexpensive solution.

Per the above post, we use these...

We have the newer switches that light up when you press them.

The rubber bumpers is way less than $135 per switch.

The little clear dots mentioned above work great. I only put 1 dot per switch panel to guide the hand to the main button and then I can tell my guests to just push the little button.
