HEY, i bought one of this wifi switches, and when i connect with the app work fine, but every single time i press the "manual button" it resets by itself, how can i fix it??
I was looking for that. Thank you.
Been thinking about putting a couple of these switches in the living room, very helpful video. Thank you very much
I fitted a switch a couple years ago that needed a neutral wire; carpet up in the room above, and two holes in the floor the get the job done. I've been reluctant to do the lounge lights because of furniture in the room above. This is so simple in comparison... Thanks for clear instructions!
Super helpful, especially the part with the capacitor fitting.
Best video i ever watched on youtube ! Rly nice work man,regards.
Thanks for the comment much appreciated!
You are my go to gadget channel good work Geek street 👍
Best and excellent explanation, never I seen like this explanation before. One billion like and subscribe👍👍👍👍👌🌹
Clear explanation. Thank you for making it easy and simple.
Glad it was helpful!
This made it all a lot simpler for me.
Many thanks !
✅💪🏼🎩
💪
All I'm going to say is thank you iv spent days going over the schematic and by the diagram it suggest putting the block on the wall. Well say no more it works!
I want to give you a hug! thanks a lot!
Thank you for your technical support , it's very helpful👍👍👍
You're welcome!
Best explanation ever!!!!....on wiring these things up....bar none!! Thanks. So the capacitor charges when the switch is on and maintains a supply to the switch ready for activation through the app. Am I right? Never realised a capacitor would hold charge for so long.
Dear sir ,a most exellent video ,,by far the most clearest ,explanation,and demo.video so far huge thanks
Before seeing this, I was putting the capcitor in the light switch 😂 I was like, it won't close, lol😂😂😂
😅
Good concept. Potentially may have an impact on insulation resistance numbers when a test on the circuit is done in the future like an EICR.
Something like this would have to be disconnected surely before doing an IR test
@@lukedodds8265 if you knew it was there yeah you would. LN to earth for this reason
Good, clear instructions, job well done.!
❤️
Perfect, thank you!
You're welcome!
⚠️ Hi! Great video. I just installed the smart switch in my bedroom, which has a twin switch connection, so 2 switches operate the same lights. I replaced the dumb switch with the simpler connection by adding the common to the Neutral whole and L1 & L2 to L and L1 in the smart.
The issue is that the other dumb switch doesn’t operate the lights anymore.
Any ideas why?
Maybe because I connected the N to the common?...
Hi there
We have used wago clips to connect all the wires in the celing.
Can the capacitor wires go in spare holes in the wago clips or do they have to go on top of the actual switch live and neutral wires, from the light fitting??
Thank you very much for your information is very clear, it helped me a lot
You're welcome!
Great video, as always. I was wondering if wiring done for light switch (10A) can be used for fixing up a power socket?
Any ideas?
Do I need extra deep box for these or does it fit standard boxes for plaster board
For those who get a 2 gang version watch out for the load drop per gang compared to this single one. I think it's from 300w to 100w.
Yes I didn't check and blew the switch board when turning it on
what did you run with it
@@muhtasimfuad1945 they were normal 40w bulbs, now switched to leds
Thanks really helpful.
Got these installed throughout the house only upstairs seems to turn themselves on, not connected to the WiFi just in case it was that. Could the loop circuit cause the problem with the capacitors at each light?
Hi this is a very good video thanks
Can I use this for my air conditions ?
Same in the ceiling rose, the Blue wire connected with the Brown core of the flex should be sleeved Brown.
Very helpful 👍
Hi. Does the capacitor works on led type ceiling light. And the circle type ceiling light ?
A word of caution. The backbox needs to be of a depth of at least 25mm (and even then it is very tight).
Had mine fitted for about a year to 6 outside LED lights thst are on a dusk till dawn sensor. The lights come one but i can't use the switch or connect the Wi-Fi. Would the dusk till dawn sensor make any difference.
Hi ya, does the schedule function works if your wifi router is switched off?
Thanks so much. How about if each switch is connected to 12 led lights?
Thanks for best useful information
What does the capacitor do ? We have the light never going fully out. Is the switch faulty or does it need a capacitor - none came with the switch. Thanks
Thanks for the video explanation! Really helped me out with explaining about the capacitor! Just out of curiosity, what could happen if I connect the capacitor between the Live wire and the switch?
Did you ever try this? I think that is what I would need to do. I have switched outlets so I'm not sure how to put the capacitor between the light.
Fantastic detailed review. Exactly what I was looking for. I am planning to use it on a dimmable LED. Can that be done using this switch on Google Home?
Thanks, you can't dim from the switch but you could use a smart bulb.
Fantastic video, great clear explanation on how to fit the capacitor. Thanks
Thanks!
What if capacitor was skipped will it just not work or it will ruin the switch?
I'd also like an answer to this question.
@@HumeidAlHabsi did you manage to have this answered?
@@HumeidAlHabsi I use it without the capacitor, the switch works ok manually but I have many disconnections. Maybe the capacitor helps keeping the switch online? 🤔
Nice and clear video explanation! I have a question: if I have 2 or more light points connected to the same switch, do I have to add a capacitors to each bulb? I’m a bit confused because light bulbs are connected in parallel and in my case I don’t know which one is the head of wires! Thanx man!
is there a way to close it after 1 sec, not after 1 min (aka inching)? unfortunately our lights are just push to turn on/off (not up down), and I am currently looking for a way to manage that.
Love the video. Could anyone swing any advice as I have a 2 gang smart switch and live in an old house so struggled with the wiring. thx
Ever get this sorted
Hi, quick question, will this work in the US? It says input is 170-250v and US is 110v right? Great video, Thanks!
In the Netherlands, Blue is Neutral and black is the switching wire. Something to consider.
Mine turns off by itself at times. Do you think I need more or less capacitance value? And the high frequency buzz from the switch is a bit annoying
Hi , is this switch working with 8 led lights on one loop?
The two gang version of this can the lights wire up to it be turned of individually using Alexa?
Yes
Hi, thanks for this video, makes so much more sense than the average instructions 😂 I've installed and all seems to be working well apart from the fact that the power light on the switch is lit blue when my light is on and red when it's off but your's seems to do the opposite. Any ideas why this might be? Have I done something wrong and should I be concerned? Thanks again
I wonder if they have have changed the design!?
if i have a led light above do i need the capacitator still ?
Hi, where do I put capacitor when using the smart switch to turn on a number of ceiling lights. What does capacitor do? I also got 2 gang switch however only 1 capacitor is there?
You only need to fit on one light.
There is a plastic sticking on the white foam on the inside. Do I have to take it out?
Looked at the link and there £18.99 each seems cheaper till you think about putting them all around the house and it ends up being £211 thinking about getting some for the bedrooms tho just need to see if I’ve got a neutral wire on my switches or not 👍👍👍
Exellent demo😊
Thanks
Hi mate how you doin I have got 4 light bulbs they are connected to one old switch I would like to put new smart switch do. I need 4 capacitors for all the bulbs to connect to one switch
I want to add a smart switch to my outside flood light, do i need a capacitor? Thanks
what was the capacitor for?
My light switch has 2 red wires, one going into each of the terminals marked L1 and L2, 2 black wires connected together via a terminal block and a bare pair of wires twisted together going into a terminal block on the back box itself. Is this switch going to be compatible?
What is he spes of he capacitor please
Great Video.
Any idea if these are meant to work with rgb smartt bulbs? It takes my normal virtual filament smart bulb fine, the rgb one blinks every time i try it (worked fine previously with the normal switch from before).
They can but best not to as you could accidentally reset.
What Capacitor is required? Just bought a similar one from eBay, and it doesn’t quite switch the light off just sort of dimms it. X3 led bulbs in the same light unit
It should have come with it, if not best to contact the seller.
nice video
Hey bud.. this really helped me.. thank you. Just have one question.. I have a four gang.. so 4 different switches for 4 different lights on the same panel.. they sent only a single capacitor.. and the diagram shows only one.. little confused with that.. what about the other three lights? Does it have to go on the L1 or it can go on any of the lights coming from the switch.. thanks for any help.
It just has to go on one light.
It just needs the one capacitor. It's basically what keeps the switch powered when the lights are off.
Thanks for video...
Welcome
Thanks got two of these now. Noticed that one seems to emit a high pitched whine from the capacitor
Could be faulty, contact the seller and ask their opinion.
Same here... noise coming from the line with the cap installed and can't mute it. Somebody else experienced this?
im having this problem, was you able to find a solution?
The best tutorial in the web. I am just wondering why the hell manufacturer added external capacitor? It would be much easier to have it build in the switch itself and save those ridiculous rewiring of the lamp - stupid. Original instruction is useless, this tutorial helped a lot.
Dude, I don't usually comment, but let's just say I had to like and comment this video!
Thanks 😊
This is great. Is there a dimmer version too?
No
Thank you so much
I've successfully set up a 3-gang no-neutral smart wifi switch like this, but the problem is the set of lights that are connected to the capacitor now flicker when they're on. It's very uncomfortable to look at and we avoid turning on those lights as much as possible.
I've been googling for answers to this, but most of the results are about the lights flickering on when the switch is off. That's not the problem I'm having. Mine work fine, but just flicker annoyingly.
Unfortunately, like the switch in your video, mine is one of these Chinese no name brands that have no online presence, help, or support. So I have no idea what to do now. Thinking of switching back to the old non-smart wall switch.
Hi, if i have one switch for 3 series of lamp, do i just put one capacitor on the first lamp series? Or do i have to get 3 capacitors for each lamp??
Just the first
Hi Geek Street, how many of these have you got installed? Any flickering issues? Also have you experienced any devices dissapearing all of a sudden and having to be recommissioned? Many thanks.
I have the same problem with u. No idea why flickering.
@saimyooo i have same problem, was you able to resolve it?
Really helpful. Thanks!
Btw just wondering is it possible to use google assistant in Android without the google nest speaker?
Yes you cam do that.
Hi thanks for this video! May I know what's the specification of the capacitor? Did it come along with the switch? I checked out the item at Aliexpress it seems that it only include the switch.
I got one now and it has the capacitor
@@RobertoLavoie thanks for the info!
Why can you just install the capacistor right behind the switch it self?
Can I still use the Wi-Fi without the capacitor
Hi does this work if I have a 3 bulb “chandelier” sort of light? I have 3 bulbs hanging from the ceiling but like lamps
Yes it should do
If I get a capacitor seperatley can I use this same process with any smart switch which requires a neutral? I'm struggling to find homekit enabled smart switches that don't need a neutral and don't require an additional hub. Thanks!
I think the main purpose for the capacitor is if the light flickers a lot
Tuya Smart g10 how to work with senior when I walk in the house to come on can it be done thanks
Amazon is now selling an updated version of this WiFi Smart Light Switch. This new version comes with a Neutral Terminal on the Light Switch and also a Capacitor in the box. If you have a Neutral Wire at the Light Switch box then this goes into the Neutral Terminal and the Capacitor doesn't need to be installed at the Ceiling Rose.
If you only have a Live and Switch Live Wire at the light switch box then you just disregard the Neutral Terminal and terminate the Live Wire to the "L" Terminal and the Switch Live Wire to the "L1" Terminal and you must install the Capacitor at the ceiling rose to stop the light from flickering/buzzing
Thanks for the info
Ive had these switches for about a month now and every 3-4 days or so, the switch will complete cut off and becomes unresponsive, the only way to get it working again is through my breaker switch... Is this a common problem and if so any ideas to fix it? Thanks
Where do you put the capacitor if you have downlights?
At the first downlight.
@@jessemahabir7760 mine have same problem, did you solve it? did you install capacitor btw?
Sorry for asking a simple qn. do i need a home wifi system to be in placed before this pairing setup?
Yes thats right
Nice video!
Quick question though, if I have two switches in the room for the same light, is there a way to install one of these and one normal one? will the state of the smart one be updated when i toggle the regular switch?
Also, under the same scenario, can i have two smart switches for the same light? Although I believe there is no point in it.
Can I use the same switch for my AC? Because the AC in my room is attached with a switch
Can I put the capcitor just behind the light switch inside the box or I have to put it close to the source; fan or light bulbs?
Right at the bulb
So in my living room have 6 led light So how it will work? Meaing for small yallow where i will install !
Another great video mate. I've been looking at a number of different options for our extension, this is a nice solution.
It would be interesting to see if a company will make a smart panel, whereby different lights in different zones can be controlled by one panel (as opposed to the traditional switch panels with about 8 different buttons on them)
Thanks for the comment much appreciated. This company does do 3 way switches and what you can do is use smart scenes to get it to do additional things and this is where you could setup zones for the lighting.
You could set a scene up where when this switch is active then a smart bulb elsewhere is enabled ?
@@t166err Yes, you could even get it to turn a light on in another property, as long as you add via your Smart Life account. Or if someone has shared a device with you.
Are you sure this fit's in a 25mm back box? The amazon link to the product say the part which sits inside the back box is 33mm? And it looks pretty chuncky in the video!
I plugged the capacitor into L1 parallel; but, still light is blinking even if it is off. What could be the reason(s)?
Hi,
I followed your video and installed the capacitor however I feel like my LED ceiling light is flickering only when on (maybe I am seeing things) any advise as to what to do ?
Thanks
I wonder if its the bulb?
Hi there !! Did you resolve your problem?
This is happening with me the light keeps flickering when I'm using an LED lamp. That doesn't happen when I'm using the fluorescent lamp.
Any advise as to what to do?
Thanks
Do u need to install the capacitor? What is the purpose? Not an electrician, just curious
can i not use the capacitor and not use the neutral or no, sorry i don't know much about electronics and wiring
Cool, but what do you do if you’ve got 3 brown wire and 5 black wires all stuffed into 3 holes?
Can you send a link with what type of capacitor I need.
Thanks
How do you reset 2 way gang switch ? I kept pressing the switch for 10sec+ .. but no blinking
What about fir 3 gang switch? Do we need 1 capacity for each light/device?
No just 1
I have added this switch to my living room with two lights. The light keeps flickering do I need two capacitors. Living room has x2 light fixtures with G9 LED bulb.
Hi !! Did you resolve your problem? This is happening with me the lights keep flickering when I'm using an LED bulb. That doesn't happen when I'm using fluorescent lamps.
Maybe should use another capacitor spec?
I just installed a smart switch. I can hear a chee sound for the switch when it's on. Is it normal for this kind of switch?
Hi will this work, on downlights, I have 4 downlights in my room how would I wire it up.
Yes in theory it should work.
Did you get it to work? I have the same 4 down lights and have wired up but the lights just stay on. Have tried switching wires but same thing just stays on ?????? Arghhhh
Can you make a switch like this control the main room light as well as smart plugs? (if you put them in the same group etc, can you use the use the switch on the wall to turn them all on/off). I am looking to control the main light and table lamps all with the same switch on the wall. Thanks!
Yes you can but make sure the wattage does not go above the rated for the switch.
