Use a multi-meter and look at the voltage you get in that plug. I found that if its another ground wire, the voltage is something like 100v and the sonoff would power up, but it was obviously not right. Had to pull through a neutral to make mine work.
My understanding and I may be wrong is the red is live and the white goes to the light, which is the switching load and not neutral.
It won't power without a neutral.
Correct and it doesn't seem to have a neutral at that switch.
I mean the T1 won't light up or switch - which it appears to do?
If I freeze to death I'm blaming you
And get power from where?If I freeze to death I'm blaming you
Fitting an infrared heater in my bathroom and because of having no bathroom plug points I'm planning on using the RF sonoff to switch it on and off.
Blame customs! I'm sure they'll be sympathetic.If I freeze to death I'm blaming you

I have an enclosed plug in my roof about 3 meters away from where the bathroom is, will plug it in there initially.
no wifi in your roof?
Not sure what you mean
why the rf if you might have wifi signal in your ceiling?
Oh, purely for the remote to mount to the wall instead of having to use a phone in the bathroom - or forgetting it in the room after already getting ready to jump in the shower.
cool makes sense
You could use a Delay node. Change it to rate limit of say 1 message per minute and drop intermediate messages.
