I've got a Sonoff Smart switch I want to use to replace an existing 2 gang light switch. The switch requires a Neutral feed which I have. I've labelled up photos of how I think it should be wired but I'd appreciate confirmation that I've got it right OR if not, where I've gone wrong. Cheers.
Yes that is correct with the exception you should have brown sleeving on the grey wire and a bit of blue on the black wire to be completely correct
Thanks for the replies Guys. I'm keen to do things properly so I'll add the blue/ brown sleeving and make an earth connection to the metal box (or replace it with a plastic one). Elsewhere in the house, I've just replaced a couple of metal light fittings that had earth wires on the actual units with flush fit fire rated LEDs. The supply from the lighting circuit to the old lights had the earth wires clipped off. I assume that if the manufacturer thought it was worth adding an earth wire to the original lights, it would probably be a good idea to connect to it! For the new lights I re-stripped the wires and added a suitably sleeved earth connection.
What checks have you done to confirm the earth wire was connected to earth at the other end of the cable?
Er, none. As you asked the question, I'm guessing that this is something that should be checked if the earth wires are snipped off at the light fitting? If so, would this be at the light switch or if not where and how to test please?
Check the circuit is continous along the earth path, from all light points and switch positions back to the board. usual thing for a lot of Diy types is to cut the earths off at the light points for some strange reason. Usually all ok back at the board but worth checking all the same.
