Hi,
I’m trying to wire a smart light switch but have too many wires from my existing switch which don’t directly translate over.
the current switch is currently wired with 2x com / 2 x L1 and 1 x N
the new smart switch has N/L/L1/L2
Any idea what to do with the extra com wire?
thanks!
This is what I want, 2 lights operating on the same 12v circuit individually. Will it work? Because there are two paths when both lights are turned on? My brain is scrambled.
