Add-On Lotus Switch Cover – Rocker & Toggle, Compatible with Lotus Ring

What is the Add-On Lotus Switch Cover?

The Add-On Lotus Switch Cover is a single switch cover that extends your Lotus system to additional wall switches in your home. It is compatible with the Lotus Ring IR remote, meaning once installed, that switch can be controlled remotely with a point-and-click gesture from across the room. The Lotus Kit includes 3 switch covers; this add-on lets you cover additional switches beyond those 3.

Do I need the Lotus Ring to use this switch cover?

The Lotus Switch Cover works as part of the Lotus system. To use the IR remote control functionality — controlling the switch from a distance with a point-and-click gesture — you need the Lotus Ring (sold separately). The switch cover can also function as a physical adaptive cover that enlarges the switch target for easier pressing, similar to the covers included in the Lotus Kit.

How do I know if I need a Rocker or Toggle switch cover?

Look at the switch you want to cover. A rocker switch is flat and wide — it rocks up and down when pressed, and is the standard in most homes built or renovated after the 1990s. A toggle switch has a small lever that protrudes from the plate and flips up and down — common in older homes. Select the type that matches your switch. If you have both types in different rooms, you can order one of each.

How many switch covers do I need?

You need one switch cover per switch you want to make accessible. The Lotus Kit already includes 3 switch covers. If you want to extend the system to additional switches — for example, in the bedroom, bathroom, hallway, or living room — order one Add-On Switch Cover for each additional switch. Think about which switches you use most frequently and which are hardest to reach from your usual seated or resting position.

Is the switch cover easy to install?

Yes — the Lotus Switch Cover installs over your existing switch plate without tools, wiring, or permanent modification. No electrician is required. It is a renter-friendly, reversible adaptation that can be installed and removed in minutes, making it suitable for people who rent their home or live in assisted living facilities.

Can this switch cover help prevent falls at home?

Yes — fumbling for a light switch in the dark is a recognized fall risk, particularly for older adults and people with balance or vision impairments. By making switches easier to locate and activate — either by enlarging the physical target or enabling remote IR control from across the room — the Lotus Switch Cover reduces the need to move through unlit spaces. For people aging in place, covering the switches you use most (bedroom, bathroom, hallway) is a practical fall prevention strategy.
