    What do we think the red button does?

    The device on the right is an RCBO. The orange button at the top is the usual test button. What do we think the small square red button does?

    Trying to install new switch to turn on a ceiling light. There are 2 black, 1 red, and ground (bare copper) wire. How do I wire this to a single pole switch? Or do I need double/3-way switch? The switch should be the only one to on/off the ceiling light.
