I want to build something that will allow the communication via WiFi from
the panel. But I want this to look a little more professional than a hack.
Right now I'm working on the backend logic. I have a simple dial for 0 to
100% and a switch for on/off in a GUI my wife can bring up on the phone.

Since this is low voltage, it won't go in a wall box with the normal wall
switches.

I am willing to take something that already exists and adapt it. I was
looking at Sonoff's T1 touch switches but I'm not sure I can add a touch
slider to that.
