Hi, have just received a smart light switch ordered off Amazon UK which on receipt has been manufactured in china with wiring installation instructions that don't seem to relate to UK.. :-O
I have a two gang one way fitting which seemed perfect for the switch as ordered - at the moment I have a live red cable which is connected across both gangs in existing switch and a yellow and a blue cable, one to each gang to complete the circuit of each light unit..
The new smart switch seems to require a Live (my red OK?) an neutral core ..???? and L1 and L2 load cables to each light..(my yellow and blue?) That's 4 cables, I only have 3!! Looks like I am missing a neutral core... OK it's 20 years since our house was rewired - is that my problem? Is there any way to wire in the new Smart switch?
If it is not suitable for general UK lighting wiring installations I am a little mythed that it is for sale on Amazon UK with no attention to this small fact!
