    Need advice identifying wall switch wires and how to use a Shelly 2.5 to wire this 4 gang switch, where I only want to wire 2 channels? (more detail

    That's what I'm a bit confused about too, but I will take a much closer look (and better photo) tomorrow that hopefully provides a bit of insight I might've missed. Excuse my lack of understanding in this subject, but why would that mean I can only put the bottom switch on the Shelly?

    Sure, I will take a better picture in the light tomorrow morning! And you are correct with those switch functions. I don't believe that the yellow wire is connected to all of them, but hopefully the better photo tomorrow should shed some more light on this. But I can confirm that no light was...

    Yes, the red is the only wire going in at the bottom. The black wire currently doesn't connect to anything on the switch as it is intended to be a neutral. And no, the switch second from the top is a two way switch, but everything else is a standard single switch. This is definitely not the...

    No, I am 100% sure there is a neutral wire in the box, but it is just not extremely visible in this photo - it was a necessity when I had the wiring in the house redone (I don't have the greatest photo of it, but in the photo below you can see I've highlighted where it terminates). However, it...

    Hi everyone! I originally posted this on Reddit, but I thought a more local forum might also be fairly useful. So, I have finally decided that it’s time to start making my in-wall lights smarter. At first, I considered buying off the shelf smart switches, but I realized that they don’t really...

    PC Link Computers: Legit?

    I definitely agree. If it's going to take 2 weeks to ship, that's fine but make sure I know before I order and, if necessary, let me know after the order instead of making me think that I'll get it in three days. All they need to do is reply to an email saying "It will be there on this day..."

    Thanks all! I just emailed them again today and within about 20 minutes I received an automatic reply saying my request was received so that's something. Still don't know why it took two tries just to be told they got my email though

    PC Link Computers: Legit?

    Thanks for the response. I tried calling but because of Lockdown they say they're on such skeleton staff that they can't even have one person answering the phone? So they say they only reply to emails, how great...

    How did you get a refund? Just looked on the order page and I don't have an option to even ask for one?

    PC Link Computers: Legit?

    I was just about to post to this forum today, but I see you've beat me to it. I ordered a hard drive on their site that no one else seemed to have in stock, not because of price reasons. This wasn't long ago, on Sunday evening actually, but since then the order has been stuck on processed so I...

    Where to find USB-C Monitors in South Africa

    Exactly the reason I'm looking at it. I can leave all my peripherals and stuff plugged into the monitor, and then when I plug my laptop in with one cable it almost turns into a desktop when I'm not on the go, making my life a lot easier. Also, it looks a lot cleaner instead of having a lot of...

    Where to find USB-C Monitors in South Africa

    Hey all, I've been looking to buy a USB-C monitor but it seems that no where in SA sells them?! The very few I've found have been imports and have been sold at extremely high prices. Anyone got any feedback on this? Thanks
