Hi I’m new here. I’m a non prof DIY er. Having problems with fitting Trendiswitch two way light switch

[Gab123]

Then you have bought the wrong switch, one side of the original is an intermediate. This now makes sense with all the conductors in the box. As stated, you need an electrician, 10 minutes tops.

Thanks

That’s the only type they do and they claim it’s easy as no earth needed. But diagram shows less wires than I have as it’s two way switching I have 7 wires and as I’ve now forgotten where they went I can’t even get original to work without tripping out the box

Then take it back Gab, you have been miss-sold.
You'll need to go to an electrical wholesaler to get that I should think.
