    Should be simple? change inline smart switch

    the screws push down far so it cant be touched its double sided taped down so its solid. I think the wires come a little out of the trunking. I remember the ELECTRICIAN didn't really want to fit this in the first place, but he did in the end.... probably because of the same reasons that you...

    Should be simple? change inline smart switch

    Yeah I want to cover it but dont want another huge box next to this one...need some neatness... I suppose I could try to fit it in the fuse box because it seems big enough but I just don't know if there's enough slack on the wires. I don't want to start taking the trunking up.

    Should be simple? change inline smart switch

    On the old one, none of the copper braids are exposed because they go under the connector which you screw down But now the new one doesn't come with anything... I didn't think of that Is there anything I can buy to cover it?

    Should be simple? change inline smart switch

    The ELECTRICIAN didn't initially want to fit it, but I insisted... because the connector was not being used and it was brand-new because instead of using the connector where it was meant to be used, I ended up installing smart bulbs as that sometimes solves the issue... but why I found with...

    Should be simple? change inline smart switch

    The rocker switch kills the unit as I just tried to turn it off, the unit went offline so thats 100%. Yes, app only dims the lights, (and through Alexa). I always leave the switch ' on ' so Im ok with it being ON all the time and using app only. I'm sure I'm overthinking this, but I've just...

    Yes, i see what you mean In this situation the connector I am using does have the option of SELV... but I don't know if you can make it out in the picture.
