Nice! Luckily the existing back box for me is quite deep (plus it already had an earth connector built in), so I had plenty of room for a neutral connector. I ended up opting for two LAP FCUs, as described in my original post. It also turned out to be on the ring main, rather than a spur...

Thanks John. This was also something I considered. But as the power cable to the controller is not very thick, I thought it best to have a lower rated fuse, just in case.

Ah OK that's cool, thank you :giggle: You're right about not needing power to the controller if the opener is dead lol .. in fact that might be better, as we get offline notifications from the controller, so that could indicate there's a problem with either.

Yeah I did consider that as one of my options, but it would be mounted to the fireproof ceiling (sorry I forgot to mention that) next to where the original is. I've no idea how easy/hard that is. I assume it's similar to plasterboard, but I have no idea what it is really. These modular FCUs...

I have a single FCU (Fused Connection Unit?) in the garage that provides power for the garage door opener, it has a 13A fuse. I want to add a smart garage controller to it that also requires power. Can I convert the single FCU into a double FCU using two modular FCUs...
