In this video, I’ll show you how to install a Tuya Breaker Switch. Two of them to be exact. Since this is mains wiring, that can be a problem with legalities in some countries. In this case, the wiring is not permanent in the walls, but actually you are making an extension card so it should make things safer.
You’re doing the wiring completely apart from mains hook-ups and the home circuit is protected by safety systems already in place. The devices themselves are programmed to open when there’s a problem on the load side as well.
I’ll be mounting two of these Tuya Breaker Switches into a 2-wide mini Din box, which will control some of my frequently used items. But I’ve also set up vacation mode, so they turn off when the house is empty. This way, I can save energy and reduce waste.
Bought what I thought was Zigbee switches, but turned out to be WIFI. Lesson learned: look closer at what you’re buying and buy the right ones! In the end, we got the wiring done and all was working, even though I had to connect the Tuya Breaker Switch through the cloud instead of my local Zigbee network.
