Advice for wiring Sonoff T1 3 Gang

    Hi,

    Just looking for advice on how to wire a Sonoff T1 3 Gang

    The existing 3 gang switch seems to have 5 live wires (2 in a com and 3 in L1 in each gang. Also have 2 wires connecting the coms together)

    There are 5 neutral in a block and what appears to be 5 grounds in 1 sleeve going into another block

    Pics are attached

    The switch controls 3 different lights which are not controlled by any other switch. In the fuse box the switch for these lights is for all ground floor lights along with all lights in the toilets throughout the house

    Any advice appreciated!

    My current thinking is to take the wires from the coms and put them both into the L of the sonoff (ditch the loops)

    Then I would need to run a piece of wire from the neutral block to the N of the sonoff.

    Finally the wires in each L1 would go into L1, L2, L3 of the sonoff

    Does that sound right?

    Correct.

    I think you will need a deeper box though.

    Yeah I might alright. Gonna give it a shot with the current one first. Replacing a back box is a bit outside my skills so if I can avoid that, all the better
