Lights not on earth leakage? Just connect the neutral to the ground of the socket. Guaranteed CoC failure, possible tingly feelings when you touch the switch, but it will probably work
Just bought the place, don’t want it burning down

Sorry guys, moved from Crystal Web last night and am reconfiguring.
Should all be working now - please let me know if you have any issues!

Oh yeah, missed that, thanks!
But I wanna use it with Home Assistant, is it flashable to Tasmota? I assume if it can be flashed, it's gonna communicate with Home Assistant via MQTT?

Sonoff Dual or Sonoff 4ch is for more than one light switch. Though the 4ch is too big to put behind an existing switch.
Additionally I can backorder an EU or UK T1 switch - we don't keep stock as they don't sell often in South Africa. Just check which suits your needs and drop me an email - I'm placing an order today!
Dual can fit behind the switch?
4CH, where's the best place to mount this? Ceiling?
Also, each unit just needs one neutral, right?

I plan on doing THIS setup this weekend, anyone have any experience they'd like to share?
Going to start with a sonoff basic and if I like it then I'll do this with the T1s too. I may just ship back my T1s to SmartKit to flash - I don't see myself doing that myself - seems like a mission. I'm sure you guys would be kind enough to flash it for me for a small fee?

Most of my lights are controlled from either a 2 gang, 3 gang or 4 gang light switch.
I want to control them with as little hardware and wiring as possible.
So which Sonoff is best for the 2 and 3 gang switches?
And for the 4x basics, I'll need one neutral wire to drive each one? If so, I'll rather get a 4CH.

If anyone is interested, check out this video for using your existing light switches with Sonoff-Tasmota.
