I’ve got AC power in the house and would like to wall mount the IQ panel just above a light switch. I can tap into the existing wiring (usually 14 or 12 gauge with a ground) in the walls.
Is it as simple as tapping into the existing wiring and using the + and - leads that are screwed tp the IQ Panel’s power brick?
Thanks in advance for any help. The brick plugged in the wall with the unit on a desktop is just unsightly to me and I’d rather have it wall mounted in a more high traffic area.

No
This has been discussed many times. The panel is 12V DC. The power transformer (brick) converts 100v-240v AC to 12v DC. If you wire directly directly to AC you will fry the panel.
You can always create a recessed outlet, and wire it, then conceal it to aesthetically please.
Thanks! Now to find a recessed wall outlet that will accommodate the entire transformer so I can lay the panel flat on the wall with it plugged in and ensure the transformer/wires are not visible. Maybe a 2 gang recessed outlet would do the trick.
