I opened the Globe Dimmer all the way up. I don’t see any obvious Tx and Rx lines, just 4 test points. Even if the test points are the signals I want, I don’t like the switch enough from a cosmetic standpoint to bother. 

I found a new (very expensive) smart switch on the market with a pretty display: Orro.  They claim the are weeks away from having a local API. Though they have a number of integrations, it seems each has its on “face” on the screen, and I want a multiswitch face like an Insteon keypad.
