I’m fairly certain the external light circuits had to have switched live and neutral when we had some work done.

 

I’m guessing there sort of things are your preferred route:

You can use any switch units that are Tuya smart the ones I have used are by Milfra and I got them from Amazon the ones I am using are the TB41 but there are many.

That appeared to be the same as another I’d looked at but at a lesser price. I love a bargain!

 

To cap it all it works via an app that I currently use (in addition to the suggested app) so that’s a winner too.

As it needs an appreciably bigger back box (35mm recommended but used 45mm instead) I’ve had a bit of SDS chopping out to do. Patching up and remedial work nearly done. Wish it had been thought about when the area was decorated less than 3 months ago though! 🖌️

Do you already have any smart home devices or any hubs?

Plenty of devices but no hubs. 👍

I have an EmonPi from open energy that does the solar and controls the PHEV charging via MQTT and gets its TOU info from an API to Octopus 

I also have a Pi running Home Assistant that picks info from the MQTT info. The Tuya app also gets data from its devices that controls heating and lighting from anywhere. 

I also have a Zigbee hub but do not have any devices that talk to it as the temperature sensor I was using with it was not that great.

They call all talk to Alexa or Google but do not have any of them yet.

I did build a 7" display module based on Arduino that displays my power info and outside temp, has a graph and a pie chart on it so I can see at a glance if I am using more than the solar is producing.
