    IMG_8087.PNG Can anyone tell me how to wire this wifi switch. It's on a new build so there is live and neutral to the switch.
    My problem is the video only shows connecting live from the lights. Where do the neutrals from the lights go?
    They are gu10 spots with led bulbs.
    Thanks

    The neutral is the neutral rail - so it will be pulled from the ACN

    So connect all the neutrals together in a block then 1 to the switch?

    I've done this and it keeps tripping the main board.

    The black(or blue) that was in your original switch isn't a neutral!

    Well there was no original switch, cause it's a new build like I already said, and I built it.

    Running a neutral to the switch cause I knew I was putting in a wifi switch that needed a neutral. Really? Read the original post first.

    Where did you run that neutral from? If from the c/unit maybe it's from the wrong neutral bar it it's a dual rcd board.

    It's from a board installed by an electrician in a utility room I built outside. But it's the main board tripping in the house.

    There's no need for that!!

    You said new-build, you didn't say self-build. You didn't say there had never been a switch there.

    Maybe you have cocked up with your own wiring.

    I doubt it, it's not rocket science.

    Mr. HandyAndy are you an electrician?

    Or just a handy man?
     
  16. That is why RCBO'S although more expensive is the best way to do the job.

    Do any of the other circuits on the utility board with a load on trip the rcd.

    If you tripping out you are causing a short, so that suggests that there is a problem now if you wired it, there's a good chance you caused the problem.
