Support Docs · Installation # What wall plates *does PIXIE fit into?* PIXIE smart dimmers, switches, and timer modules are a standard mechanism size for easy fitment into most Australian wall plates. Designed in Sydney, built for standard Australian wiring practice, and shipped with the caps and spacers needed for clean fitment across a wide range of common brands. 5 min read Updated May 2024 Audience: Electricians and homeowners At a glance ## Designed for *standard Australian wall plates.* PIXIE was engineered around the standard mechanism aperture used by most Australian wall plate ranges, which means the same PIXIE module fits cleanly into the wall plates electricians already specify and stock. Each module ships with three interchangeable button caps to match the plate design, plus a silicone spacer for a smooth button action where required. Mix and match dimmers, switches, and timers in the same plate to give every room exactly the control it needs. HPM™ Legrand™ Voltex™ Trader™ ZETR™ PIXIE Ambience Hager™, HYBRID plates only Clipsal Iconic™, by arrangement Clipsal Prestige™, via BP inputs **Found a wall plate PIXIE will not fit?** Let us know by emailing [info@pixiepartners.com.au](mailto:info@pixiepartners.com.au?subject=PIXIE%20wall%20plates). The list keeps growing. See it in practice ## How a PIXIE module fits, *step by step.* The short video below walks through how a PIXIE module locates into a standard Australian wall plate aperture, how the button caps swap to match the plate design, and how the faceplate snaps into place to finish the install. [PIXIE Smart Home Modules Fit in](https://www.youtube.com/embed/6-fWD5AVdLU?feature=oembed&rel=0&rel=0) Click. Clack. Snap. ## Three steps. *That is the whole install pattern.* Once the wiring is in, the PIXIE fitment process is the same regardless of which brand of wall plate has been chosen. Three deliberate clicks, no specialist tools, no surprises. ![PIXIE module with three interchangeable button caps](https://pixieplus.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/pixie-modules-button-caps.png) 1 #### *Click* the button cap Click the button cap onto the PIXIE device to match your chosen wall plate design. The three most common button caps come free in every box. ![PIXIE module inserted into a wall plate](https://pixieplus.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/pixie-module-inserted.png) 2 #### *Clack* into the plate Clack the module into the corresponding wall plate slots. Configure your plates exactly the way they will work best for the room layout. ![PIXIE faceplate snapping into place](https://pixieplus.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/pixie-module-faceplate.png) 3 #### *Snap* on the faceplate Snap on the matching faceplate once affixed to the wall. Use as many different styles and colours as needed to match each room's design and decor. **Scales 1 to 6 gang.** Using the current PIXIE generation, the same fitment pattern works for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 gang wall plates without any change to the installation method. ![PIXIE 6-gang wall plate configuration](https://pixiepartners.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/pixie-6-gang-wall-plate-1-300x200.jpg) ![PIXIE 6-gang wall plate alternative configuration](https://pixiepartners.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/pixie-6-gang-wall-plate-3-300x200.jpg) PIXIE Ambience ## The PIXIE plate range. *Three colours, six configurations.* PIXIE Ambience is the dedicated PIXIE wall plate and faceplate range, designed end to end alongside the modules so the finish, the button action, and the alignment are all engineered together. ### PIXIE Ambience *wall plates and faceplates* Available in three finishes and 1 to 6 gang configurations, designed to match the PIXIE module range and the wider Ambience family (Smart GPO, Touch Panel) for a consistent look across the home.

The Smart GPO front cover and the PIXIE Touch Panel both use the same finish language, so a wall with PIXIE Ambience plates lines up cleanly with the smart power point next to it and the Touch Panel down the hall. ![PIXIE Smart GPO with Ambience-matched front cover](https://pixiepartners.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/GPO2-300x300.png) ### PIXIE Smart GPO *(Smart Power Point)* PIXIE Ambience matches the PIXIE Smart GPO front cover styling so the smart power point sits visually alongside the smart switches and dimmers in the same room.

A few brands need a brand-specific note or a different fitment method. The quick references are below, with deeper brand-by-brand fitment notes in the next section. ZETR™ #### PIXIE is compatible with ZETR™ A complete article covering ZETR™ compatibility, including a compatibility matrix and product images, lives on its own support page. [Read the ZETR™ compatibility article →](https://pixiepartners.com.au/support-docs/how-does-pixie-work-with-zetr-switch-grids/) Clipsal Iconic™ #### Iconic™ fitment by arrangement Clipsal Iconic™ plates can be made to work with PIXIE through a couple of different methods.

Some brands need a specific plate type or have particular configurations worth knowing before you order. Detailed notes are below, expandable per brand. Click any brand to open or close its detail. Hager™ PIXIE works with Hager. **HYBRID grid plates only.** Three ranges: Silhouette, Allure, Finesse. ▾ **Critical:** PIXIE will not fit in a standard Hager™ plate. The HYBRID version of the Hager™-made plates must be used. Once on a HYBRID grid plate, fitment follows the standard PIXIE Click. Clack.
