When I wired the first switch and light, I learned a few things, such as where to place the wires and where to mount the microcontroller board. Wiring the other eleven modules proved even more enlightening. There was a groove in the plastic where I could route a ground wire between the light and switch, but I used a bukly wire the first time, and one of my thinner conductors fit neatly into the groove. The plastic halves did not fit smoothly every time, so I may need to file them lightly later. One octave took a while, and I still have to land the wires on the microcontroller board.
Switches and lights installed
