I have got myself completely confused with the simple task of replacing a two gang switch; was relying on a mental note of existing wiring. The two gang switch operates the living room light and upstairs landing. Upstairs landing has a single switch.
There are three separate grey cables. Two have red, yellow and blue. One two red. Tried wiring the two grey with r, y, b to a seperate switch, red to L, blue to L1 and yellow to L2. IT didn't work. Then tried to add in the grey cable with two red, this either made the living room light come on permanently, with switch for upstairs working or switch on the upstairs permanently and switch does nothing downstairs. Also noticed the current setup, upstairs permanently on,none of tthe llights in other rooms downstairs work. Tried getting an electrician out but not managed to get one to call in yet
