Maybe it’s just my OCD but why is the switch on the left so far forward? Maybe you need to remove some spacers or push the wiring behind it back further so it can be screwed in further? Maybe the photo is just poor timing or maybe you’re just a monster and you like it this way?
The wall box is a three gang box, the one on the left is a pico in an adapter. It stick out more because it’s against the wall, not in the box. The room has five switches total and the pico acts as a master for the whole room.
oh okay that makes sense. I was wondering if there was an easy way to add a fourth switch onto the end of a 3 gang box and this option definitely strikes a good balance between acceptable looks and minimal work required.
