2 gang 1 way

[diynoivce]

So bought a house a year ago and the guy said he disconnected the outside light so I changed it but I can't seem to wire it up, any help appreciated!

What does the button on the switch control now?

Assuming the other disconnected wires connect to the light you'll need to see which one's are live and connect it to the other triangle on the switch.

Our hallway light, I managed to get them both going but it would turn one off and the other one on so unsure of what I'm doing wrong/where to put the wires, I know the red and black wire not connected come from the outside light, just not sure how to connect it

 

[pete01]

Link the 2 coms and put the spare red in L1 and the black in the connector block

Assuming that cable goes to the outside light.

 

[Jurassicspark]

Connect the red to the unused COM terminal along with the black wire to L1.

With the original wires, connect them similar to above but in the other triangle of the switch.

As above, don't forget to link both red wires.

so connect the red thats in coms to the other coms aswell and then leave the black where is or connect to the blue wire?

 

[pete01]

What wiring do you have at the light?

 

[diynoivce]

the outside light fitting is red black and an earth/ground wire

 

[diynoivce]

And the red and yellow wire currently in the switch just turn on the hallway light

 

[Jurassicspark]

then put the red (the one in the terminal block right now) to COM on the other triangle of the switch.

The same as the black wire to L1.

You might need to link both commons with a short piece of wire.

leave the blue wire where it is.

Do you not think the blue should join to the black?

Do you not think the blue should join to the black?

Where do you think the blue wire goes mate?

 

[pete01]

Where do you think the blue wire goes mate?

To the light of looks like they've used a 3 core to being a neutral to the switch to feed the outside light...maybe.

 

[diynoivce]

The blue wire comes from the inside hallway light

Have you looked in the hallway light? A picture of that wiring will help
