I assume the ws13a wall switch will fit in a cover plate from a GFI plate. How about a double wall plate?

In my home I have some of the old plastered in boxes.... so even the decora switches can be a snug fix. But they fit. I can't image a double box would be an different.

A WS13A will fit in a standard wall box (like for a bedroom light). Our living room was widened to include a former front bedroom, so I added an overhead fan to replace the overhead light. When X10 came to live in the house, I got a WS13A to control the fan. The former light switch had been converted to operate the fan, so the WS13A automated it.

I not so worried about the box as much as the cover plate when two switches are in the same box. I figured a ground fault double receptacle. wall plate would have to be used.

LorneL .... I have double box and use 2 decora switches side by side. The double receptacle cover you mentioned will work fine. Its a tight fit in the box and care needs to be taken when tucking the wires in.
