that 1 loop to another nearby switch.
u can find which switch 'unusable' by disconnecting the looping.

nope. we live in development where we can cut cost here and there..

Another option use 2 set of switches.
But need hack wall, hack aside to accommodate 2 set of switches.
😁

Can change to Basic with RF. So u will have RF remote to control.

Or this small wifi switch module. This can 'selit' inside switch back box.
Need use capacitor thou.

Can close the gas valve at compressor there... but surely some (inside cooling coil n piping) will be lost..
Need topup.

Got it installed 2-3 days back.. trying the alexa integration with smart devices..
Me will be getting fire cube tv..

aih.. why tease box only...
show la the switch and stuff pictures...

just ventured into HA.
tried running in VM (debian + HA) on my laptop.. just for venturing in HA 1st.. see how to use, programmed it, integrate smart switches.
manage to run it basically.

looking for Raspberry Pi 4 to run it.. minimal power usage for 24/7.
but problem is to get the Pi... if available, the price is also dem on high side..

I can try to run on my micro atx pc .. but to leave on 24/7 will consuming electric.
Prefer to run on tiny consuming device.

need to make sure the ac switch using 'same' neutral line/busbar with the lights at DB.
else u will 'trip' the rrcb.

Mine wont have so much cpu usage.
Just switched and monitoring graph.. etc..
Might be 1/2 cctv later.
Im considering the power consumption. Thats y wanted to use rpi4.
And basically im still new to this HA. Just venturing..

Try tested Debian on Intel J1800/2gb ram... But seems lagging to trigger.

most probaly 'doesnt' have the 3 pin plug top.
usually old AC just direct wiring from 'switched' point. (the 20A double pole switch + indicator)
only new (not all) comes with 3pin plug top, and these mostly not more than 1hp.

if u need to use smart switch device, find the 'inline' type. this device put in between supply and AC.

btw, this will control only power to the AC. u still need to press remote button [unless u invest in smart IR control (something like that, forgot the name)].
some olskool AC, can be powered on/off directly, it remember last state.

im using midea (inverter 1.0). seems doesnt have any subscription plan.
im using Midea Air . this is the original app before they make new one.. MSmartHome. i havent try this one yet..

Nope. Haven't try HA integration.
My HA also not ready yet.. still doesn't have dedicated platform to run.

My midea is not recent model.
I think its MSMB model.

Can use something like sonoff 4chpro. (4 channels)
But switch need to ON and control on/off of the lights/fan using phone or RF remote.

Switch ON state also can default to which ever channels/light to be turned ON.
(Power ON selected channel when switch triggered to ON)

Need 20A support switch or if u handy with electric diagram/able to diy electric... can use Contactor Relay (CR)
Smart switch turn ON CR, CR will direct power to Pump/AC.

Those RED cable is live looping. so both will go in L.
the other top 3 cable (load) goes to L1 L2 L3


actually only 1 Live incoming.. the other is just looping to somewhere else switch..

yes RED doesn't mean live necessarily.. but in this Corrupted Spirits case, got 2 some more, where 1 is incoming 1 is outgoing to another switch/loop.
it can be noted that in this 'case' the RED cable is incoming live.

if he's just rewiring it back to other switch, no need to touch other wiring. only the one at the current switch.
the red cable can be seen looping to all other switch using yellow wire..

btw, with limited info, maybe the white 1 going to fan ? the taped black white might be going to fan regulator (if using conventional regulator).

quite rare also to find developer putting all phases inside switch box, no?

from my experienced, cant fit. our default rear box for switches is very narrow... plus with the switch back board and cables.. surely cant fit... unless u korek the box and wall cement..
and also u need N for this devices..

oh this 1.. i also use. currently got at use at toilet switch.
nicely ngam fit at the 'side'.
