The white one is the neutral ? I connected it in the neutral. Switch doesn’t turn on without it being connected.

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.

The neutral will be up at the ceiling only.....

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?

Unless it is getting a "reduced" neutral through the globe( a bit like a bad earth on a trailer).
Take the globe out and see if it still "clicks" and lights up.

@phaktza sorry if this has been answered a few times already (thread is quite busy), but when do you expect stock in your hands for the newer SONOFF RFR3 and SONOFF RM433 Remote Controller?

I was hoping this week but we had some issues with damned lithium batteries, so it may take a few days longer.

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.

And get power from where?

Blame customs! I'm sure they'll be sympathetic.

I have an enclosed plug in my roof about 3 meters away from where the bathroom is, will plug it in there initially.
Long term, maybe put it on it's own breaker - but it's only 850w so not sure if that's necessary.

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.

So in NodeRED how do I get around two triggers firing at the same time (presence detection and two people in one car of instance) and not running the automation twice in parallel but only using one of them as the input?

You could use a Delay node. Change it to rate limit of say 1 message per minute and drop intermediate messages.

Wouldn’t I then end up waiting a minute for things to trigger?

If that’s the case then HA automation wins again with a simple semi-colon between two entities.

The first message will go through immediately, and then subsequent messages are dropped until at least a minute, or whatever time you have set, has passed.
