I am messing a bit with home automation and have put in Google Home and some LIFX bulbs.
I have some lights which I can't or don't want to replace the bulbs so I've been looking at replacement switches.
If I look at the wiring diagram in this page and compare it to the wiring I have behind a three way switch it seems to not be suitable as a direct swap.
tinyurl.com/ycypbwzk search for 3 gang wiring instruction for the pic.
Behind my switch I have three separate circuits, each with a live and neutral each side of the switch. The wiring on all of my switches (singles and doubles) are basically the same.
Can anyone confirm this please? Is there an easy resolution if it's not a direct swap?
(I have an alternative, which I am going to use in the bathrooms where I have no wall switch - which is to put one of these into the ceiling tinyurl.com/huda5d5 - cheapen than the switches anyway, but a bit more faff to install!))
TIA.
