I'm trying to make my light switches smart.
In my bedroom I have two lights; one main bulb and then a hue smart bulb attached to an ikea lamp that's plugged in at the mains. I want to have the main switch control both bulbs.
And other things too but that's the aim of making this switch smart.
Anyway. I bought an Avatto zigbee switch off aliexpress. When I tried to wire it up, I had a problem because it's an old house with no neutral in the switch.
SO I bought another; this time promising "no neutral" needed. It came and now I have to work out how to wire up this capacitor.
What I am saying is that I did not pay attention at school and have no idea what is happening here. I've made a diagram to make it easy for someone here to tell me what to do while pretending I am four years old.
If it turns out I can't use this for the light or there's a better way then is it possible to use these to turn my plug sockets into smart sockets? I have three of them now!
I'll swap out the wires for better ones and I'm making sure to keep the fuse on to keep the stakes high.
