sorry to kacau, just for personal knowledge.
but your method this way removes the 2-way function correct?
*
Need another wireless switch for the 2 way function.

Edit. Sorry. Read that again. Its wifi switch. So no problem to pair to the same receiver.

To complicate the method further, now have new single fire switch that need put this wifi power adapter between L1, no need use capacitor.
*
It's still same like other wifi/smart switch with no neutral.
That thing is still capacitor acting like neutral return bypassing light /load.

From what I see/read, can't fit inside our local switch box inside wall.
Need tebuk deeper..

inductive loads (coils/motors) will have effect if putting other caps inside the circuit.
thats y fan have problem with 'non N' switch.

if put at 2nd-3rd gang i think should be no problem (?) hmm.gif

can we use sonoff smart switch to open close autogate?

U can use sonoff low voltage devices, tap to ur autogate controller..
If not mistaken can use both app and rf remote.

Nope

I didn't use their driver

straight away sonoff to the light

I thought sonoff act as the driver?

salah?

Good luck... πŸ˜…
Sure burn ur led. That sonoff is not included led driver..
Its just 'switch' u still need use the led driver from ur light.

Had mine for 2 years now, never had to replace them.

However strictly use it on lighting only, I have seen people using them on ceiling fans and what not they die within 2 years due to excessive voltage load.

QUOTE(Fubar20 @ Apr 28 2020, 07:59 PM)
Probably but which regular ceiling fan use high wattage?  hmm.gif

Might be coz of motor induction loads..it have some effect on the switching components inside the switch.πŸ€”

I have a device that is powered by a 9V 500ma power supply wall adapter.
I would like to connect the device directly to the house wiring without using the wall adapter. Can you guys recommend me any device that can convert the AC to DC.
*
Where actually u want to put the device?
The power adapter still an ac to dc device.
Can u just use back the adaptor by 'relocate or extend' sso (plug outlet) to the desired location?

Ok thanks, I'll try to understand 😁.

One question tho, assuming 3 gang no neutral with capacitor switch, can use on any gang right? L1, L2, or L3 or only L1?
*
QUOTE(Zot @ May 20 2020, 10:51 AM)
Should be any line. Just to leak current to the switch to power the switch circuitry as far as I know at least on my dumb touch switch. Maybe expert can advise better  blush.gif
*
Most probably L1 on previous switch. usually got note on the manual/diagram to use cap on L1.
newest 1 dunno.. hmm.gif

My bad, I meant 3 gang smart switch.

So, my question was can a 3 way smart switch independently work on 3 different phase?
*
3 gang switch should be no problem. can control different output. only L1 need cap. if u mean the phase is output or load. unsure.gif

sorry.. abit confuse..
but if 3 way, i dont know..

So was trying to install my aqara switch today. Didnt work.

Understand that the yellow wire is the live wire while the red goes to the switches (L1 and L2) accordingly. Howver they seems to be an extra red wire to the comms of the okd switch which im unsure what it is.

On one of the switches it did blink red for awhile but nothing after that.

Anyone can advice?
*
The red-yellow looping must be live. It loops to another nearby switches. If u disconnect the Looping, other switches somewhere will not function.

yeah aqara too expensive. for wifi i see this 1 RM42.90 (2 gang) seems cheap.

Quite cheap price.. got other shop sells at rm70 (2gang also).
Sadly only 2gang available at the shop u mentioned. πŸ˜”

Just tested to tap the neutral line from water heater switch, the water heater ELCB will trip. I believe the water heater ELCB detected the current leakage as the wall switch use some current to operate. No problem when I connect the neutral line for the air-cond switch.

QUOTE(kelvin @ Jun 23 2020, 12:16 PM)
The circuit is originally from developer. TNB -> Main ELCB -> Water Heater ELCB  (both ELCB are in DB) -> Water Heater Double pole switch -> I tap the neutral from this switch and cause trip.
*
it trips because ur water heater use another elcb. that create another sub circuit of L & N for the water heater.
the aircond switch using the main ELCB circuit that are share among the other lighting/etc.. so no problem..

3 phase wiring/circuit also will have this trip issues if tap on different Neutral phase..

by the way this driver come with 2 wire inside, small driver. and it have brown and blue. so brown is neutral, blue is live? this is how i connect to sonoff.

Socket off

Having issue on replacing traditional switch to this smart switch.

Do I need to put capacitor?

Buy on9?
Can give the product link?

I do stumble newer smart switch with both option (either use N or Caps).

No.2 picture is just looping. So in new switch just join RED (supply) to L.
The other L# for load/lights.

If ur switch capable without Neutral, capacitor need join at L1 load/light. Basically join cap at light connectors between Life and Neutral.

If u say it’s for looping, then replacing to the new switch no need to do looping ?

From the description,looks like new model, either can use N or cap.

Yes. New smart switch no need looping.
The 'common' connection already inside the switch.

i looked back again at ur post.
seems got another live looping there (white cable #2)

so #1 and #2 need go in L smart switch.
the rest #3 #4 #5 is load.

for our local switch, usualy no N or E at switch (except for 20A switch)

i hope u do have some basic knowledge or skill and safety precaution when doing DIY electrical works.
