>like digital time switches, switches, sub-meters, contactors, relays?

look at all the room we have, do you really think we cant find a spot to put a relay or a metering device? We typically dont put relays or time clocks in a distribution panel and instead opt to set them in a box right next to the panel, makes it nice for later if you want to change something around so you dont have to shut the entire panel down to work on it safely... not that 90% of the guys I work with would.

As for adding more breakers in the off chance we run out, we could just add a small sub-panel if we really needed next to it or remotely the same as you guys would.. though in homes thats pretty rare.

I dont do residential stuff but here are a few panels I did about 5 years ago and the blue box is just a programmable lighting contactor panel.
