Thanks for the prompt answer and diagram :) Really appreciate that, will dig out some connector blocks for isolation purposes. Would heat shrink work to isolate as space in wall box will be tight, and I have a load in the garage?

I found a few old posts, but none looked quite like mine. I want to change my landing light switch to a one way smart type, but need help on the wiring behind the old rocker switch. The new smart one way switch is a no neutral no capacitor type which I have successfully used in other rooms for...

Sure did but thanks for the input. Quite impressed with the switches so far, they work well

The four I've already installed work fine, would it be an issue if it was rated for 220v in the UK? WiFi switches that don't need a neutral seem to be pretty rare in the UK unless anyone knows a UK supplier?

Never spotted that, the switch description read ok, Item specifics Condition: New: A brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item in original retail packaging (where packaging is ... Read more Brand: Unbranded Max. Power: 1500W/Gang Compatible Product: Smart Phone / Alexa& Echo dot Google...

Thanks for the quick reply, never had time to post the new switch, but here it is for reference anyways. Much appreciated. I will put the load capacitor on the easiest downlight to access. So the original installer marked the three 'to lamp wires' with with black tape :)

Are these clear enough to see where we are?

Hi there, I have a 3 gang wall switch outside my en-suite bathroom which controls 3 circuits. 1. 3 ceiling LED downlights 2. One shower cubicle LED downlight 3. Over mirror LED strip I want to change to a 1 gang WiFi touch switch to just switch all 3 circuits on or off. The WiFi switch is the...

Bought a new hob, so all is good

No idea of the maker, door was replaced before we moved in 10 years ago, and no sign of any identification on door or frame so it looks like we will need to order a new one. There is a glazed side panel which I assume is separate from the door and frame, so we won't need to replace both parts...

The cracks are in the outer skin layer which is bonded to the frame,

So, my enquiries suggest that these faults are not repairable..... Anyone suggest a good composite door supply and fit in Bedford area? Cheers J

I have a Black woodgrain effect front door, and it has developed cracks in the outside facing surface in 4 places. The door structure is white, and the inner and outer (quite thin) black panels seem to be glued or bonded to the frame, but the outer panel is also becoming detached from the frame...
