Hi, anyone know which wire in the photo attachment is L and N? One of it is solid black and another one has white strip on it. I don't know if my wiring installation is correct or not cos the device seems like no power.

The color /code of wire maybe correct but people may also install incorrectly.
Best check with a multi meter.

TS idiot want people help but don't give full detail.

That adaptor word show the wire output. So normally AC input is opposite that brick. Than the wire marking line is normally use on DC. That slash line for polarity. But forget for + or -.

It is DC
cannot use this - listen to ozak

your DC power adaptor output connected to sonoff input - tabuli ini machem blink.gif

you need to use AC input - i suggest you dont use this Sonoff Basic since you dunno how to connect simple circuit - it could kill you
use this instead - Sonoff S20
