Legrand Adorne? And even that is visually constrained by our standard wall box sizes.

I thought all of you guys knew web browsing and stuff; guess I was wrong. They install in a 1-3/8" hole with a phillips head screwdriver, same way an old work box is installed (and removed if needed). If you want that fancy little countersink then you'll have to think a bit harder. Nothing...

There is also a double outlet shown on that page. And they are designed for daisy-chained installation.

Sounds very much like the post-WW2 farmhouse in rural central VA where I grew up. I'm still in central VA, but not in that house any more. I remember grounded receps with the ground tied to the neutral, ground pins broken off so they could be plugged in, and the ground adapters that bonded to...

For me, that link opens to the Products page with pics and links for each of the products. But I bet you can find your way there from the home page if you try.

If the current draw is compatible, I would just wire those outlets to a smart wall switch. You'll have on/off control from the same room, as well as the ability to set a schedule. It's been a week; surely you have added up the watts by now? :)

Ran across these things: https://prado.com/us/product-category/unifit-series/ WOW are they pricey. But they certainly give a clean look that could be worth it to someone in the right spot. I have to assume it'll only be a matter of time before there are less expensive versions on the market...

Definitely BTDT. I use Eneloops and just recharge them before trips, but they actually last OK between trips IF they are turned off. But I use them only once every few months so I just put those batteries back into my camera/flashlight/audio/whatever battery bag and make sure I have eight fresh...

A 4-pin connector for electric brakes... ??

Good time to mention that I've basically switched to wireless trailer lights. The connector never leaves the interior of my car, so it doesn't get smashed, corroded, or otherwise degraded by the elements. Just have to keep the batteries in the lights recharged (AAs) and every trailer I ever pull...

Actually the most interesting thing to come of this (for me) is learning about the Eaton EVSE breakers. That can greatly simplify BYOC charging.

And one hardware item. With all of that switching and load monitoring I wonder what happens when something fails. Can you replace just a block, or is that whole backplane controller one item? The monitoring is easy to add to a standard panel, but the circuit switching, at the whole circuit...

I see these ads on Reddit. Lots of visuals but not a lot of actual information. I assume each stab has a separate switch and load monitor, so you don't need smart breakers? The branch circuits are connected directly to the breakers. No plug-on neutrals (at least on some panels). $3500~4200...

I don't know the details about how the wiring works, but I think it's a bit more than just a modular connector. It's that, but built into the box so that there are no other connections. And the arrangement of the wires to that box/connector is presumably thought through in such a way that you...

As wireless stuff goes, Lutron pretty much is the proven stuff that just works. That said, I totally get wanting wires... I have some Lutron switches but they are hardwired to work normally without any smart anything. I can control them wirelessly as well. I have some other brand switches as...

Depends on the charger, the season and on how long overnight is, I suppose. For my 2020 Bolt with the included L1 EVSE: 120V@12A is 1.4 kW, times... ten hours?...so 14 kWh. Times about 3.4 miles/kWh for winter road trips with heat is worst case, 48 miles. Or times 4.7 for bopping around town...

Post a good daytime pic and you'll probably get some good suggestions.

I would scavenge the controls (pushbuttons etc) from those boxes in a split second. Small, likely good quality, and universally useful. Even if it's just to build a mega-tough garage door console.

People say 100A (could be the panel is sold as a 100A panel, or often 125A) but if you breaker it at 90A you can use 2-2-2-4 SER which will be a lot easier to work with. That's what I did for a subpanel. There's room in the main panel for a double breaker? If you don't want to tie it in...

I'm not any more convinced than you are. A suitable dedicated 120V outlet (installed per code and all that they said) will have a 5-20R, right? If their intent with that text is to make sure that it's on a 20A circuit, they would have put a 5-20 plug on it but that's marketplace suicide. They...
