  1. That’s not my staircase btw
  2. To go with his s7 sibling
  3. Nothing bad then ! - that’s what worries me . I’ll try and see tomorrow. Really don’t like this stuff ; appreciate your help !
  4. Yeah ; as I’m out my depth completely I won’t be doing any of that . Whats the worst that can happen getting Live round the wrong way ? 🙄😫
  5. Ok . I listen to your point - I really do ! How should I test each “ live “ to see which it is . Preferably with circuit off ; or is that not possible ?.
  6. Nah ! That’s for pussies
  7. (expletive deleted) it . 50/50 chance . I’ll just wire “ as I see fit “ ( said that to a judge once when I was caught with scrotum clips to a car battery in the local park ) .
  8. Current switch as is...
  9. Don't like it when people say that.....
  10. Never understood why british standards don't have Live (i.e. powered as opposed to live to light ) marked on the cable. Lots of Pocster's have probably died attempting such things.
  11. I'm still confused on the no neutral thing (I didn't realise this switch didn't need a neutral ). With no neutral and the switch off it won't be powered and therefore surely can't report or be controlled via Zigbee? But if neutral is connected ( where too? ) then it is 'powered' and so acts like a smart switch correctly? No understand. Switch is neutral free. Destructions show neutral connected to squiggle ( why a squiggle?; what's it meant to represent - not seen that before ). - confusion hate electrics - so dangerous.. I might send it back
  12. I don't mind it not working if I get it round the wrong way. But will something go bang and I shit myself?
  13. Ok . So squiggle is L out . If I get them round the wrong way ; what will happen ? 🙄. Do I test each L against the neutral to determine which is which ? ( out of my limited knowledge depth here ) . edit: with power off !
  14. Sorry; what I meant is current switch is a simple affair i.e. 2 brown lives that complete in the switch - there is a neutral but it's not used. This new switch has a L but also a P and "squiggle" symbol. So which of those is L out? ; think that's what I'm asking.
  15. Right P must be power. So no neutral required , erm.... yeah I'll try that. Live to P and L ThinkI'll wait for advice!
  16. These bloody ‘smart’ switches ! So the dumb switch currently installed just has 2 lives . I *assume* this new switch doesn’t need neutral ? ( but diagram suggests it does ) So where do I put the other live ? . In the neutral slot or P ? ( what’s P refer to ? , why’s neutral not got a nice N on it )
  17. I believe hob isn’t , extractor is . This I will argue when I do my vat reclaim …
  18. Sleeping with your DNO doesn’t get you any favours either ( so my friend told me ) .
  19. To help you find my stand I’ve hired some publicity help .
  20. Ffs ! Saving pennies ! . Buy the proper Hep2o ones . Divorce will cost you more than ” best bargain from China , much goodness , best quality , not rubbish , you pay now ? , my sister waiting also , much goodness , she cheap also , what you want now ? “
  21. Out of interest what is it if not ptfe ?
  22. I was more thinking that my stand could be to help all those deluded self builders whom will delay / procrastinate over their build . I’ll bring lots of biscuits and comfy chairs . They can sit there and tell me how pathetic they are as on lookers clap and chant abuse .
  23. Limescale is the issue . Don’t want to log nice LG F/F with it .
