I always seem to clip on my right side... maybe I need to shift the handlebar to the left

you run your brake handles too far outboard.
(this is one of my std answers. i have no idea if you do or not.)

So... wanted to get into automation and decide to start with TV and lights
Bedroom TV.... good
Checked my bedroom switch and it has the neutral wire. Great!
Bought Echo and Kasa 3 pack smart switches
Living TV... MY 2016... SmartThings will not work. Damn.
Bedroom lights.... Let there be light! Awesome
Checked living room lights.... no neutral wire
Checked dining room lights... no neutral wire
Checked hallway... no neutral wire
WTF... do I bother checking the other rooms?
Is it possible that only my bedroom has neutral wire?

Get some pictures of the boxes. It's possible all the neutrals are in the light boxes. That would leave you with just 2 or 3 wires in a box,depending if it's a 3-way switch or single pole.

How big are these dents? Maybe one of those dent wizards can do a paintless repair? I had okay success with the DIY kits for acorn type dents.

Hood is about 6 inches and roof is about 12 inches
Both areas does need to be painted

Nicer weather is here.... I am moving jobs in a couple of weeks and going back to the city.
BUT... no more 75hr work week.... I think... I hope!

Haven't been riding much in the last year from being utterly exhausted.
I am still off the grid on alternate Saturdays and my fitness is non-existent but...
Who wants to ride with me and talk about home automation?
