Smart switch alexa is does it count
Former Community Member
So looking through regs items need to be switched to be controlled. So does an Alexa for type switch count. If you run a normal switch then add Alexa bulb say at some point someone will turn off the switch and the item will over time deprogramme. Therefore you could short back of switch giving constant power and solving problem but is that within the regs?
(a fused spur where you can remove the fuse works unless you're plagued with malicious pixies).
I've yet to see a fused spur that doesn't accept a padlock.
But only on TN systems with main bonding - otherwise (TT or TN without main bonding) then N needs to be isolated too. (That's assuming that you understand the rest of the requirements of 461.2 (I still don't) and your TN system complies.)
I think that BOD was saying that if you unscrew and pull out the fuse tray, you can pop in a lock-out padlock. Mind you, it would have to be a small one.
