I bought this - but realised when I come to installing I only had two wires coming out - any quick fixes ? Or is it it the case I have to buy a different switch
Having a neutral wire at the switch is a rarity in the UK most houses only have a neutral going to the light in the ceiling. You have to add a capacitor to the wiring at the light to maintain a low current to the switch or turning the light off manually will cut the power to it meaning it will need rebooting. The capacitor also stops LED bulbs from flickering when they are off. New build homes are now being fitted with neutral wires at the switch with home automation in mind.
Hi my old switch only has 2 red wires but I can’t see any neutral wire in it also there is a green wire connected to the metal box in side the switch,could you help me please Thanks
trim the exposed cables to fit the hole, don't leave any bare metal showing. Bad / dangerous practice.
Thank you. Really helpful
Your welcome
My friend, I have a problem with the new update. I cannot find the device. Can you help me?
Does this only work for light switches? Will it work for my cooker, washing machine and other kitchen appliances.
Yes it will
Can you turn on/off sonoff smart switch manually?
Yes
which one is better, sonoff of tuya products?
Sonoff required neutral wire
Tuya is good for no-neutral switch

Both are same
Can you turn the light on and off from the switch without using the ohone
yes, just tuch the blue light
will it work as 2 way switch?
No you can buy different model

I have the same problem would like to know is there any way to install it
it's Require Nutural Wire
There are some smart light switches and dimmers that do not require a neutral wire.
How do you install it if you only have 1 live and 1 neutral… what do you do about having a Live Out?

Your old switch doesn't have Neutral wire so this won't work. Try Yagusmart switch
@@PLIDD Thank you
Good job there's no electricity going through them wires. Am guessing he's not an electrician otherwise would be using insulated screwdriver.
Thanks
Really could do without themusic
