Neat! One nitpick: never do a voltage switch like that with a toggle, always use a slider. A toggle is way too easy to accidentally trip.

Also, the wites leading to the switch seem like 0.05” IDC cable, which is horribly inadequate for mains application. The “jumper” is not some kind of low power config input, it simply shorts the midpoint of DC smoothing capacitor bank to neutral mains wire and thus is both live and conducts significant current.
Actually, I was under the impression that it is only config input. I will have to recheck it. This might be a major problem. Thanks!
good point! thanks!
