Hello,

I am looking for a Zigbee switch to change the state of my bulb (either controlled via the bulb or via the switch).

I bought this one: [Sonoff MINI & R3 Smart Switches Support a DIY REST API - CNX Software](https://www.cnx-software.com/2019/07/02/sonoff-mini-r3-smart-switch-diy-mode-rest-api/)

But the problem is that it is «&nbsp;big&nbsp;». It takes up space in the box and I am struggling to fit it inside. Do you have any smaller ones in mind?

Hi, your Sonoff is already small.  
What you can do is change your junction box to a special one for home automation.  
You can find them everywhere in single and double.

Great, that would have been very useful. I didn’t know that existed.

Prices on Amazon are ridiculous, 20€ for 5.

Clearly, especially since with a glue gun, 1 cutter and some recycled plastic it costs 0€ … no need for something clean for a hidden thing!! Okay, 5 or 10 cents of glue at most ^^

The thing is, it’s flexible plastic, so you can fold the pouch to install the box. And some people are quite particular about insulation, so they want to avoid DIY! 👍

Good idea, I will print some small receptacles and a bit of silicone for waterproofing. That will do the trick.
