I must admit I have been using these a lot recently, they are only in Burton on Trent. Usually come next day as well!

 
However, as regards being maintenance free, you don't want to install them in an inaccessible location because you may need to pair the receiver with another switch, or re-pair with the original switch, which requires physical access to the receiver to actuate the pairing button.

And that is why your great intelligence equals your stunning good looks... My little brain didn't think of that.... Silly me...

Just had a quick look - on the prewired receiver L is Blue and N is Brown:oops:
 
That is odd! Not noticed that on the site. I will dig one out later and put a picture up, I have a spare one at the workshop!
Not had any trouble with them and have fitted probably 10 so far!
 
cheaper alternative . i'm going to order one and see if they're any good. not much outlay for a punt:

There are even some that you can get before September :D

Ahh: Seems like I'm too knew to post links. Search Ebay for 382652254199

But, I'm obviously not a qualified electrician but I would always be worried about unbranded stuff with 240v going across it. What would happen if in 3 months it burst into flames? What come back would I have? (none). On the other hand it does show how much margin the various middle men (importers, retailer etc) are making on the Quinetic.
 
as he sez....

Ok so I eventually got to the workshop and well all the ones I have are correct so don't know what is going on with the picture!
As I say not had a problem with any of them so far and have installed around 10, some for garden lighting some for a kitchen, all worked flawlessly and they are a lot cheaper than the branded onesSwitch in brick wall door opening IMG_20190728_1840394 - EletriciansForums.net

In my limited experience I have found a few anomalies in wiring labels. I installed 2 thermostats/controllers for heating panels recently. The diagram in the written instruction leaflet,and the diagram printed on the stat, the wiring was correct...but on reading the instructions it reversed polarity...a simple typo really, but if you were reading it out to an apprentice of little brain, things would go wrong.
I brought this to the attention of the distributors, and they said they would "look into it", so that's fine!
