I want to replace a double pole light switch that I currently have in my hallway cupboard that controls my porch light. I want to replace this with a smart light switch so that I can control it remotely without having to open and hallway cupboard every time which is very inconvenient. The switch that I intend to purchase is the SONOFF T1UK1C which supports both Wifi and 433MHz RF remote control (in case Wifi does not work inside the cupboard).
Before going ahead I wanted to find out the correct wiring, so I am sure of what I am doing. I have attached here the current switch wiring and the wiring diagram from SONOFF for the smart switch:

The above is how the current switch is wired:

The above is the back of the intended smart switch and the recommended wiring diagram from SONOFF


My question is how do I take the current wiring to this SONOFF switch ?

Please do let me know if you need any more information or more clarify on the question.

Thanks in advance

The smart switch does not have the fuse protection so it can't be used especially if it is a ring final circuit.
 
It is not suitable for use as a replacement for the fused switch you have currently.
it could be added after the fused switch as per the instructions above.
