Hello

I'm looking to change my light switch to timer touch activated switch. My current switch which flicks on/off has two wires; one into L1 and another into L.

The new switch is a little more complex. Anyone willing to point out the equivilant wires? Here's the wiring diagrams supplied with the switch

Any support will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Your new switch requires a N connection, which from your description of only having two wires (L, switch L) in the mounting box, is not going to work (unless you pull in a new cable including a N connection).
