smart switch

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...

Hi everyone, I have managed to change most of the old switches in my house for smart switches but I'm having an issue with the hallway. It is a single switch that is linked to the landing. (I really don't know the terminology so forgive me lol). The hallway switch has a common and two switch...

Hi! The store I am buying my smart switches from claims that I can do a false 2nd gang switch by without needing extra wiring to a light, but just tapping into power from the existing light switch. I was wondering if anyone knew how I would go about wiring this. I have made a diagram to explain...

Hi guys I am trying to replace my old 2-gang 2-way and 1-gang 2-way switches with the new smart ones. Could anyone please help me to achieve it? I tried to draw a little scheme for you to understand the situation better. And here are the photos of the switches and their wirings. 1-gang...

We have a heated towel rail with the electric supply coming via a fused spur switch in another room, as normal. I'd like to put a small smart switch between the fused spur and the towel rail, probably in it's own section of a dual surface pattress box, to better control the towel rail and to...

Hi All, I purchased a Moes 1 Gang smart switch (no neutral). Switch is installed and working fine with my led fitting without the supplied capacitor installed. My question is: Is it essential to install the capacitor at the fitting if the lights aren't flickering at all or is it ok to use...

Hi there, I'm scratching my head trying to find out how i can rewire my new smart switch. I have an old 2-gang 2-way light switch with 3 terminals top and another 3 terminals on the bottom as seen with the diagram below with black, grey and brown wiring. L2 L1 L (top) L2 L1 L (bottom) S1 by...

Hi all, I recently swapped my living room light switch which was a 1-gang basic light switch, and replaced it with a 1-gang smart switch. The wiring behind my light switch had no neutral wire, so I made sure I purchased the "no neutral" version of the smart switch. Now I'm moving onto my...

Hi. I’ve reviewed previous posts on this subject but I’m struggling to find a solution to what is probably a common problem. I have 2x 3 gang switches that I’d like to replace with a Smart Switches. Downstairs the 3 gang operates a light in the hallway and an outside light and also has a 2 way...

I've been trying to find a smart switch/timer to replace our standard double pole switch. So far I've struggled to find a smart double pole switch as a direct replacement. Has anyone any suggestions or examples of what they have used? Our heating/hot water can't be controlled separately so...

In my hall way I have a 2 gang switch where one controls outside light and the other the hallway light. Hallway light can also be controlled by a separate switch in the hallway too. I’m installing a smart switch where I’ve tried once and managed to have it connected and one light the Hallway...
