X-10 Key Chain Remote Station

X10IMAG0035.JPG

This instructible is in response to my placing my X-10 key chain remote in the basket by the door, and having to fumble for it among all the other items, glasses, keys, do rags, etc, I had in the basket when I came home. Now my X-10 key chain remote is beside the light switch so I can turn on four lights the moment I walk into the house. This is a two part 3D print so that it can be used with either a left or right side mount with the same 3D print.

Two Stl Files

Print these two files. As you will discover the two parts will need to be mounted together with a couple of screws, but because of their properties, can be used to the left or right of any light switch plate. Now your X-10 key chain remote will always be within reach of the same light switch that controls your ceiling fan, which has no use if you leave your fan on when your not home. Your switch location is now useful again. My last three houses had this. If I left my ceiling fan running, I had to walk across the room to turn a light on in my house.
