@mikeyd there around 30 ceiling lights in the whole house. 6 for only stairs and landing. Not sure would that be in budget to replace the lights with smart ones.

Came across this switch https://moeshouse.com/products/zigbee-star-ring-smart-light-switch-scene-controller-neutral-wire-required-2-switches-association?variant=49716089749819. Does anyone has experience with this kind of switch and making it work with existing 2 way wiring?

Thanks for the reply. Yes the last one you showed is the one that controls the stairs lights (which are in turn controlled by two more switches upstairs). Sorry i did not understand about the relay you were saying. Could you please point me to some that i can look into. Why is my switches...

I am trying to make the switches smart. Here is one 3 gang switch box which controls porch light, hallway light and stairs (2 more switches upstairs which control the same stair lights). I could not understand the wiring here as everything is brown and the blue ones (guess'd neutral) are inside...

Finally !! solved it... :) The problem is with one of the keep bottom and top so had to do a trial and error by removing and fixing each one of the 7 keeps and fixed them by adjusting. Thanks everyone for the support. PS: Removed whole multi lock system and the mortice to drill a hole for...

Could not turn thr circular bits they are very hard to turn. So i have removed the deadbolt keep but still same result so removed all 3 keeps and no luck either. Tried with ink and putting some masking tape on the deadbolt keep but i do not see any marks on it. Unable to guess what is...

Thank you for clearing. Learnt quite abit about the system.

@RandomGrinch i have decided to go with Tado X to take advantage of matter and thread (if i buy more thread devices can use them to automate stuff) and now it is available in UK for £60 more for the starter kit. Now regarding wiring did you mean respectively about the colours and the terminals...

Great thanks for that. I will keep looking for V3 for some discounts.

@RandomGrinch any help here please

Thanks for the clarification so Tado seems to be a better choice here. What about Hive or evohome or ecobee? Also a silly question most of my rooms have two radiators so do i need two smart TRVs in each room? Edit: I lately saw there is Tado X version (available in ebay UK for lesser price...

Hey ChrisJP, i am looking to have ease of controls over the heating of the house from a mobile app whenever and however i want, instead of a set timing (this does not work with my family) so that is why i want to replace the existing old fashioned with smart ones. @RandomGrinch ok from what you...

Thanks for your replies, learning a lot about the heating system. From your suggestions i think it is better for a gas engineer to look and fit a smart one. I am looking for some nice aesthetic looking smart thermostats like Nest or any other which looks good and for future proofing like...
