I think this product is too new for anyone to have experience with it.

Chuck,

Looking forward to hearing your review. Although I'm pretty much sold on the Torteous, perhaps the Micro Mark one can be used in situations where the Circuitron unit won't fit. In any event, it's great to have choices!

I get a kick out of the the conduit hanger they're using to mount it.

But, heck, if it works . . .

Conduit hangar or not, it looks like a nice, simple switch machine.
