MOES WiFi Smart Thermostat, replacing a on/off switch

[kinning]

Hi hope someone can help, I have read and got a lot of answers in the past, but couldn't sort this.

I've purchased "MOES WiFi Smart Thermostat" from amazon, and need it t replace a simple on/off switch that controls the boiler. Pics below of inside the current switch. Wiring diagram for the new switch.


Thanks
