    Replacing fused switch with Smart Switch

    Is it permitted to connect a towel rail to a smart switch normally used for lights?

    Smart switch plus fuse

    Despite the fact that there are s/sockets with glass fronted touchscreens! How much safer can they be.

    Is that 3 metres between towel rail and shower/bath or shower/bath and socket or both?

    The front doesn't match my other switches but it appears to be the only option out there Thanks

    Not entirely. This switch is for the towel rail...the other is a light switch. Both on the same wall.

    Smart switch installation

    I agree. It could have been shown better. Having looked at the diagram again I could see where the confusion could arise. So to recap... Live feed to L, L1 & L2 to respective lights. Leave the 3 connected neutral wires as is. Just need a deeper back box

    Thanks again! So that diagram has me really confused what with the 3 blue wires going to neutral.

    Many thanks for your reply. Just to elaborate, the live feed is the one with the bridge wire across the two switches. The smart switch diagram only shows one live connection. I guess the live feed connects to that. What then of the switched lives?..and three neutrals?

    Smart switch installation

    Having successfully installed some smart sockets, I have caught the bug of converting to smart home. My next project is to replace the 2 gang light switch in the hallway. The current setup is as in the first photo below. One switch controls the hallway light and the other an exterior light I am...

    Relay for spotlights

    I'm guessing the reasoning behind running a live to the dashboard is for when you wish to power a warning light for the switch.
