DIY backing cover plate for Eufy doorbell

Make your own backing cover plate for a Eufy doorbell (DIY) I recently upgraded my old LaView doorbell to a Eufy 2K Pro doorbell.  The Eufy is a tad slimmer and exposed some of the roughed up exterior wall.  Not only was it unsightly, but if you looked from the side, you could actually see and potentially pull out the power cables using something like a paper clip.  I looked online for some wall backplates and found some on Amazon with names like Wasserstein or Vomenc.   But most of these were for Ring or Blink doorbells.  I just needed something simple.  At first, I thought to find a piece of generic black plastic, but then found an almost perfect match. View after initial mounting with exposed hole You can just use a simple light switch plate that costs less than $1 at a home improvement store.  The screw holes almost line up perfectly - I ended up screwing one in at a slight angle and it was fine.  Also, I opted to use some stronger screws I had on hand than the ones included.  Tho
