Wondering how to install the timer (wiring) if is to be installed beside the porch light? There is only 2 wires at the light.

While someone mentioned ...

1 - Neutral
2 - Live
3 - <Nothing>
4 - Live
5 - Wire to light

If instal beside the porch light, your light should have L, N and E wire. I guess you know which 1 is live and neutral.

If you install beside the porch switch, than you need to wire out a neutral wire from the light or nearest neutral wire you can find.

If you no idea what is L and N, better leave it to electrician to do. Safety first.

Noted. Thanks. Will try it out this weekend

This should help.

Thanks. Got that in the box that came with the eh711

Is very straightforward, you can control 2 equipments making both flip flop.

The timer can install next to existing switch, rite? Wonder my wiring guy say NO?

It needs to be connected to the Neutral wire. So, unless there is one some where near the switch, then will not work

So i need to check my existing light switch inside have Neutral wire o not?

Most of the power socket will have neutral rite?

All go out must come back. When you have Live, you need neutral to have a complete circuit.

Usually light switch is on with Live, and neutral are all loop neat the equipments. Only A/C, heater, oven switch, or high current switch have both neutral and Live.

If your switch point have A/C or water heater switch, you can tap from there.

my light switch point at main door to on/off the foyer light only...1 gang alone no other swtich/socket.
tat why my wiring guy keep say No.

Than you need to tap it from the nearest A/C socket, or pull one over.

You need a neutral wire to make it work. Normally neutral wire is not available in your light switch.

Live is on the light switch.

Here for those no idea where tap a neutral wire for the timer.

Original is just 1 switch with no neutral in my storeroom. I modify it to 2 switch with a timer beside and take the neutral wire from the light. As you see the trunking running to the light. The light and switch is for outside backyard light. If locate at hall, don't use this way. The trunking freaking ugly. He.....

oops i meant neutral....sorry
