    Hi folks, I have a two gang switch and I only need to be able to switch one of those circuits, the other stays on all the time. I have a one gang smart switch that I want to replace it with. My question is can I just connect the live to the neutral on the "always on" circuit and forget about it so i can use this smart switch to control the circuit i want?


    Advice appreciated!

    Don't connect live to neutral anyway.

    You need to put the brown switch wire with the live supply wire.

    Both brown.

    Have you checked you have a neural at the switch ?
