The old-school hard-switch control panel for Home Automation.
This project has a few parts, each documented in their own section below.
- Project Box from Amazon; link and description
- Base and Top panels; SVG files for a laser cutter
- PCBs for Base and Top panels; KiCad PCB designs for manufacture
Project Box
The project box is a BUD Industries PC-11495 Plastic Style F Box 9" W x 5" H x 8.5" D, Natural which I found on Amazon for ~$32 USD. The Dimensions are available from BUD Industries (thank you!)
Another option, without the top display is the BUD Industries PC-11493 Plastic Style F Box 9" L x 8.5" W x 1.98" H, Natural for ~$30 USD. The Dimensions are available from BUD Industries (thank you!)
You can find details on these boxes in general from BUD Industries
Base and Top Panels
Look in the Box_Panels directory. These are SVG files for a laser cutter, deisgned to be etched from the back side (will look reversed)
Process:
- Remove back-side protective film
- Paint back side of acrylic black
- Laser etch the panel
- Paint over the etched side with white paint
- Done! Remove front film and install
PCBs for Base and Top panels
Uses KiCad v7.x for two PCB's; Control Board and Display Board.

Questions
How big is the Control Board-20230716 PCB?
It measures 177.4 × 107.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Control Board-20230716 use?
42 parts. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the Control Board-20230716 KiCad files?
From the stephenhouser/Control_Panel_1 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Control Board/Control Board-20230716.kicad_pcb and its schematic Control Board ESP8266/Master Control Panel.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Control Board-20230716 design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask stephenhouser before reusing the design.
