One switch stopped working after 1 day

Very poor quality. A switch was no longer used after a day. It's not an alignment issue, the lid switch just pops (even when taken out of the box) and can't lock in the down position, only in the up position. I can't even find a replacement right now so I'll have to rewire the switch box for a different style.

Pros
  • Decoration covers and Decoration switches and covers also include hardware kit and weather seal
Cons
  • Only available in black

Stopped working 2 months after installation

Update: After contacting the company they sent us a new cover. Their customer service is amazing and they were very kind/understanding. I will update again as the switch cover is used. Fingers crossed that the new one works better. Looks good but buttons broke less than 2 months after installation. It wasn't used once a day. Big disappointment.

Pros
  • Inner elastomeric membrane provides weather protection
Cons
  • Can't remember

Requires customization to work with smart switches

So all switches are smart switches and I needed a way to protect them from the outside. These didn't work at first. They are designed for positive contact in all directions. Smart switches require a momentary push up or down. When you're ready to void your warranty, you can remove the outer plastic switch. Inside you will see a piece of metal that comes out with pliers. Grinding the burrs that also hold it in place completes the setup. It takes a bit of thought and finesse, and again voids the…

Pros
  • All weather decorative covers compatible with single pole or three position decorative switches
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
