NSPanel pro double gang switch

[tomlea85]

Hi I'm looking to fit a smart display called sonoff NSPanel pro which will also require me to fit a deeper wall box.

I plan to replace a double switch with the above, the switch is currently setup for my outside light and hall light. I have smart bulbs so don't use the switch at all.

What I'm trying to work out is how do I wire the NSpanel which requires Live and natural and still complete the circuit so the light basically ignore the current switch setup.

That light switch doesn't have any neutrals, so unless there are other wires that are not shown in the picture, you can't connect the panel there.

There are neutral in the back box

I assume there are 2x 3C&E and 2x T&E with 2 blue and a grey in a connector, especially as there is a blue visible in the pic.

You are correct

You are correct

A very quick glance at the pic was all that it required for the assessment

As I only really need power and the neutral and not the switch function could I just put all the connectors into a wago and then just take COM for the Live for the NS panel

I use TP-Link (Tapo) smart switches, which have a battery inside so do not need a neutral, and will still work even if outside light has a PIR controlling it, still needs a deep box or spacer, but with a power cut it stays as it was, like any simple switch, and have features like dusk and dawn, up to now worked flawlessly, been in around a year, not changed battery yet.

Thanks I have other smart switch and bulbs hence looking to replace a switch with a screen
