Smart light switches

Former Community Member
Former Community Member
I have recently installed a smart light switch that works with alexa and needs no neutral at the switch. 


To enable it to function correctly they provide a capacitor that has to be connected across the live and neutral at the ceiling rose. 


My question is.. Are these regarded as being safe? 


Thanks for any help

    Agree class X. Perfectly safe to be connected between L and N, on any circuit with suitable ADS (like a fuse or breaker, which I'm sure your lights do have) Failure will not endanger human life, just put the lights off.

    If a failure would endanger life such as between live and a otherwise isolated  metal part you might touch,  then a tighter standard applies. (class Y)
