good to know clearence isn't there ... something i could correct though

An i2c and capacity touch could work great.. but i can't find any cleanly designed front panel that I could use in place of my light switches.

Any suggestions for front panels on the light switches? I've connected mine to normal switches to control the relays, but I'd really like a 4-8 soft button front panel that I could also wire into GPIO's on an ESP for "scene" control outside of the local relays. Auy suggestions or experience would be great
