1. A wall-plate system extending in longitudinal, lateral, and transverse directions that are orthogonal to one another, the wall-plate system comprising:
a wall plate comprising a front, a back, and at least one aperture, wherein the at least one aperture extends through the wall plate in the transverse direction and the back comprises at least one post extending rearward in the transverse direction;
a back plate abutting the back of the wall plate and comprising a front, a back, and at least one aperture extending in the transverse direction through the back plate; and
electronic componentry comprising at least one aperture extending therethrough and at least one tab comprising an electronically conductive material connected to the wall plate and extending rearward away from the back of the wall plate in the transverse direction,
wherein a post of the at least one post extends in the transverse direction first through the at least one aperture in the electronic componentry and then through the at least one aperture in the back plate to secure the back plate to the wall plate with the electronic componentry between the back of the wall plate and the front of the back plate.
