Changing pull cord to kinetic WiFi switch

[EFLImpudence]

Does L not stand for Light and S for Switch?

How it’d try it with a pull cord on, since I’d be removing cable from pull cord to go into IN in the receiver? Thank you.

No you'll remove the cable that goes into the light, leave the pull cord cable to start with remove it if the new sw works?

It does.

Thanks but it doesn’t make sense to me how do I then wire it. Apologies.

The cable that goes to the light cut it and fit the receiver in the middle.....

The switch cable remove and fit a link where the brown and blue used to go.(make 100% sure that is a switch cable) before a link is fitted.

Make sense?

Thanks all. I’m not getting it honestly. I was also thinking about taking perm feed that goes from fan isolator, split this for perm feed to the kinetic receiver and connect lamp cable to out. Is this bad practice? It seems easier, for me at least.

How many more times? You have a Perm feed at the pullcord switch cable.

It is the Neutral that is the problem.

It seems silly to use a fan isolator when everything you need is in the junction box.

First of all and most important is forget any advice you receive from any AI service - when it comes to anything important like electrics or gas any answers will be wrong.

The advice you have received on here so far may or may not be correct as we still don't know your full requirements.

Next questions:
have you got your wireless receiver yet?
does it ned a Neutral and Live and Switched Live? IE 3 wires
can you post pics of the receiver and the wiring instructions that came with it?


If it does require perm L and N then this is works

picking N from the light position and L from the switch position
For example

A receiver of that style will require an enclosure with proper cable restraint/clamps so the earth wire is enclosed.


These surewires and other similar products are brilliant devices until something different is required.

I thought my way was simple?

Can you get 2 conductors into 1 slot?

I can’t in a junction box (push fit)
