QUOTE(ozak @ Jul 28 2011, 02:05 PM) It is not difficult if you instal next to the light and hide on top of the ceiling. I do that for the car porch. But if you instal next to the switch, you need to wire a neutral from db or nearest place. 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 |

Will try it out this weekendIf 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. |

QUOTE(wrb7878 @ Jan 5 2012, 03:28 PM) 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 |

go to those shops that sell electrical wires, switches, etc, etc.
They should have. There are few brands in the market, incl those China made ones |
