Cat Wi-Fi Light Switch
Description
I've been adding custom Wifi light switches around the house. I created this one for my daughter who loves cats. I remixed it from Mattias_Selin's great design "Tiffany the Cat". **PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU ASSUME FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE SAFE AND PROPER INSTALLATION OF THIS SWITCH. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR FOLLOWING ALL OF YOUR AREA'S GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS/STANDARDS THAT APPLY TO THIS INSTALLATION.
