Has anyone found a use for 6 of these things
as in the sale? I can only thing of so many
uses for the same thing in one room. How
many doors can you have? I think they are
nice in theory, however mine never seem to
work in a different room than the AHP module.
Just a sarcastic curiousity...

You could give one to me. ;) On second
thought, maybe not. I haven't ever bought
any of them and am proud of it ;). They
might make a good door jam though.

I've replaced the single gang light switch
cover on the walls going into each room with
a double gang, then paste the stick-a-switch
over the empty spot. (This is important,
because I wouldn't want to apply double sided
tape directly to painted drywall.) Because
of the CM15a's weakness receiving RF devices,
you may need to set aside a housecode for
them, turn off that housecode in Activehome
Pro, then supplement with an additional
tranceiver module (tm-751, or a levington or
WGL all-housecode tranceiver).
If your setup runs conditional macros
reliably, you can even make one
stick-a-switch control six different devices.
IF switch 1 on and light is off, turn light
on ELSE turn light off
IF switch 1 off and fan is off, turn fan on
ELSE turn fan off
et cetera.

I mount the wireless remote wall switches to
a blank wall by screwing a "mid-size" switch
plate to the wall with #6 flat-head sheet-
metal screws and use Velcro to attach the
wireless switch to the switch plate. It
makes for a neat looking installation and a
couple of small screw holes are easy to patch
if it ever needs to be removed.
If I want to mount a wireless switch adjacent
to a wired switch, I get a switch plate
(again in the mid-size) with two more switch
positions than the original wired switch, e.
g., if there's a single wired switch, get a
3-holer. Then use the original screws to
attach the switch plate to the switch box
(just letting the two "empty" switch
positions hang over the side - no additional
screws into the wall), and again Velcro the
wireless switches to the wall plate, covering
the two "empty" switch holes.
