i have some outside lights where the customer wants a wireless switch to bypass a timeclock and photocell.
On the wireless switch receiver I have permanent live in and neutral then another neutral s/l to the lights.
The time clock being used is a greenwood with a built in override switch. Terminal 1 for neutrals, 2 is not used, 3 permanent live and 4 out going.
Then the photocell has perm live, s/l and neutral.
Do I take the feed to the wireless receiver first?
 
You could but the timer might stop running if the wireless switch is off for a long time because it wouldn't have power.

I assume the wireless switch is controlled by a phone with an app? If so rather do away with the Greenwood timer and photocello entirely.
 
simply feed the wireless switch L from Lin of the timer. then S/L out from wireless switch to S/Lout of photocell. your switch also need a a N, but you don't need to take N any further.
