Abstract: Embodiments of a remote device mount (RDM) for installing a sensor in drywall and kit for the same are disclosed. The kit includes a mud cap, a paint shield, and a mounting plate. The mounting plate is secured to a framing structure. The plate has a sensor mounting hole extending completely through the plate and an annular sensor recess surrounding the hole. The mud cap is temporarily installed in a sensor recess in the plate to substantially cover the sensor recess and the hole. Drywall mud is applied over the plate and mud cap. The mud cap is removed. The paint shield is temporarily installed in the hole to substantially cover the sensor mounting hole. Paint is applied over the plate and the paint shield. The paint shield is removed in order to uncover the sensor mounting hole. Finally, the sensor permanently installed in the sensor recess and the sensor mounting hole.
