[QUOTE="jonnyy2357, post: 492790, member: 32384"] Hi everyone, I'm trying to replace my current 3-gang, 1-way switch with a smart switch. The new switch only has one 'live' terminal and three (L1, L2, L3) terminals for each light, whereas my old switch has 3 pairs (1 COM and 1x L1) for each light i.e. 6 terminals altogther. I'm aware my old switch doesn't have a neutral, so i've gone for one of the 'no-neutral' smart switches that has a capacitor i need to install on one of the lights. My question is how do connect my 6 wires into just 4 terminals on the new switch? My current thinking is to wire all 3 COM wires into the one L terminal, then each of the three blue wires into L1, L2, L3 respectively - is this correct? Or can i just use any one of the COM wires, and leave the other two disconnected? Many thanks for the hel [IMG]https://talk.electricianforum.co.uk/uploads/imageproxy/6bf2fe5ffdf6aca7a8a8c5646a97c1dc.jpeg.e07aa830338306547c97abddffc56d78.jpeg[/IMG]p![IMG]https://talk.electricianforum.co.uk/uploads/imageproxy/65fa077884b793ef00cb5074c2578dee.jpeg.19c8b718dd55d732d1ec16df9e691939.jpeg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
