Replacing extractor spur with timer switch

[IggyT]

I have a standard spur fuse switch controlling an extractor fan, but I don’t won’t the fan to activate between 20:00 and 09:00.
Can I replace the switch with a timer switch?
How do you wire the 6 cables into 4 points on the timer switch?
Cheers
Iggy

If it doesn't have a terminal for the two earth wires then you just join them together in a separate connector.

As said, items like this

can allow control both timed and with voice control. But the immersion heater timer

has for years combined a time switch and fuse. I must admit I would convert to a plug and socket, and use a plug in control

OK, it needs a hub, but I already have the hub, and if it fails, so much easier to unplug and replace to messing around with hard-wired devices.

I purchased a timer switch.
It has live IN and OUT and neutral IN and OUT and an earth terminal.
The issue I have is I have 2 live, 2 neutral, 2 earths and then 2 black wires.
What do I do with the 2 black wires.
The current extractor spur switch has brown to L1 COM, black to L2 and blue to N COM on the top and on the bottom brown to L1, black to COM L2 and blue to N.

Now you have eight wires now???

I think we need a picture.

Looking online, it is suggesting I need a no-neutral smart switch.

Put the permanent lives together in a connector and just time the switched live...

Never done it, try it, should work
