Adding an electrical outlet next to an existing light switch is easy, as long as there is a neutral wire in the box.Step 1: Turn the power supply off to the light switch at the main electrical panel.

Next, cut a hole to accommodate the switch box you’re planning to add, and then cut a one- to two-inch tall slot a few inches wide below the outlet to allow access to fish the wire through.

To convert a light switch, use the control module that has a box flange and then any number of custom switch and display shields can be hot swapped on it.

Flip it one way, and the power passes through the switch, turning on the light. Flip it the other way, and the switch breaks the connection, turning off the light.

Installing a wireless light switch is a simple upgrade that you can accomplish in an hour or less. You can control lights from as far as 100 feet away without running any wires through the walls.
