Smart Light Switch - No Earth

[ej3107]

I have bought a yagusmart smart light switch from Amazon. I was surprised to find there is no earth terminal in the switch. The plastic back box has no earth terminal either. This, combined with the generic packaging and no information on the manufacturer has given me some reservations.

Is it normal for a smart switch not to require earthing?

Without a terminal on either the switch or back box, what is the correct/ "regs" thing to do with the earth cable?


Thanks in advance.

Presuming it does not have a metal faceplate, then yes.

Just put it in a terminal block and position it out of the way.
Do not cut it off.
