I'm posting 2 pictures to show the case.
As you can see, I actually can't do that right now (and next install as
well, to where I'm moving soon).

In theory, removing the 7805 DPAK one could fit a buck converter with
just a little increase in space - but it might be next version.

The "larger box" hosts a board with IR recevier, 2 220V output with
Triacs, and 3 inputs.
The "smaller box" only has one 220V output and one button.
