Hi John,

I don't know the specific answer to the Sonoff devices fitting inside the junction box as I think there are different version/sizes. The only one I have seen did not appear like it would fit in a junction box.

With that said, an alternative might be to use the Shelly 1 (https://shopusa.shelly.cloud/shelly-1-ul-wifi-smart-home-automation-1#164) devices.  They are smaller and should fit in a junction box with a standard switch. They can be flashed with Tasmota much the same way as the Sonoff devices; and I suspect after flashing, they would be used in MH the same way.

Subject: [mh] Question on installing Sonoff switches

Hello,

I know this is not a misterhouse question but maybe someone with Sonoff knowledge can answer it.

Are the modules either mounted in the junction box or outside of it?  I live in a region that requires residential metal conduit so mounting outside the junction box is not an option.  If inside, I can barely fit Insteon switches in my small junction boxes (house built in 1957).  Does the Sonoff product plus a standard switch take up less space than an Insteon switch?

Thanks,

John
