    2 gang light switch - 2 new lights with Sonoff Mini R4M

    Any thoughts on the below to have a sonoff relay to control each light independantly. I wouldn't get both in the back box so wondering if I can wire the second above the light in a wago box?

    Driveway Floodlight Replacement - Standalone PIR and Additional Downlights

    Thanks for your suggestions Eric. I've considered smart bulbs/plugs/sockets as I've got a comprehensive smart system and routines through alexa inside the house. For the driveway though, I wanted to keep it as simple as motion detected = lights on for 1 minute or so. I don't plan on having them...

    Driveway Floodlight Replacement - Standalone PIR and Additional Downlights

    Good Afternoon All, My existing PIR floodlight has failed and I am looking to replace it with some additional upgrades The PIR on the floodlight didn't do a great job at picking up motion and I could often walk right up to it before it would detect movement.

    Nest Thermostat Gen 3 - Dual Zone Install

    Nest Thermostat Gen 3 - Dual Zone Install

    I was planning to redirect the brown and grey wires from the old stats directly into T1 and T2, leaving the blacks unused. Is that incorrect?

    Wiring a PIR floodlight

    Thanks Terry - really appreciate the help. currently, no, the sockets are only used for a lawnmower. Would there be any difference going from the existing FCU into another FCU rather than the socket? Reason being it’s much closer to the security light and would save me buying more cable.

    Wiring a PIR floodlight

    Yeah just one double socket. The OCP is a 16a MCB at the consumer unit cable from house to FCU I believe is 2.5mm T&E (apologies garage is not connected to go check) cable from FCU to double socket is 2.5mm T&E. They also used 2.5mm T&E from FCU to light.
