    Smart Switch Replacement of 2 Gang Switch (Aqara Smart Wall Switch H1 -No Neutral)

    Hello, I wish to replace the old 2 gang switch pictured, with the smart switch pictured. Am I right in thinking that all 3 reds wires would need to go in L. Then the lower left black wire can go in L1. And then the pair or black wires (from the bottom right) can go in L2? Many thanks.
